Summary

About the place: Nagymaros is a small town in Pest County, Hungary, situated on the left bank of the Danube River directly opposite Visegrád Castle in the scenic Danube Bend.

Flag Description: The flag consists of a vertically oriented banner divided into three sections. The upper section features three fields: on the left (viewer's perspective) white with a red five-petaled rose, in the center red with a white double cross, and on the right red and white vertical stripes. The middle blue section depicts Saint Martin on a white horse on a green hill, wearing a red cloak and a golden halo, cutting his cloak with a sword. The lower section consists of four vertical stripes in blue, red, white, and green.

Symbolism: The depiction of Saint Martin on horseback refers to the patron saint of the local church and city tradition. The upper fields incorporate elements of Hungarian historical and state symbolism (double cross and stripes) accompanied by a rose, while the lower section combines the traditional local colors with the Hungarian national colors.
