Flag of the city of Jumilla, in Murcia, Spain.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The flag of Jumilla is horizontally divided in nine stripes, in turn blue and white, with the municipal coat of arms in the middle.

The flag hoisted on the Town Hall in 2013-2014 had lighter blue stripes than the regular flag.

The coat of arms of Jumilla was granted to the town on 27 April 1358 by King of Castile Peter I the Cruel, together with a charter. The arms feature the events that ended with the re-incorporation of Jumilla into the Kingdom of Castile. Reconquerred from the Moors in 1248 by King Ferdinand III the Saint, Jumilla was subsequently ruled by Infante Alonso de la Cerda, a nephew of Alfonso X the Wise. After the transfer of the Kingdom of Murcia to Aragón, Jumilla became an Aragonese border town. Not pleased with the new situation, the nobles of the town plotted for the return to the Castilian rule, secretly approaching Peter I in 1357. The next year, the king ordered his brother Fadrique, Master of the Order of St. James, to seize Jumilla, which was achieved in April 1358. The 1st quarter of the arms feature a castle and a church, the two main buildings of Jumilla at the time. On the 2nd quarter, the lion climbing the mountain represents Fadrique assaulting the town. The 3rd quarter, with a Castilian-Leonese bordure, features the ladders used by the Castilians to enter the fortress where the last defenders of the town had entrenched themselves.
