The Flag of Shkodër is vertically divided between blue and red, and also features the city's coat of arms. The center of the flag portrays a shield with a golden S to represent the first letter of the name Shkodër, accompanied by two eight-pointed white stars with a red rectangle surrounding it. Underneath is a blue background with a white intersecting grid.[1]
The coat of arms of Shkodër can be traced back to the 14th century with a coin depicting the current arms of Shkodër (1375-1400) when it was an autonomous city.[2]
