Albania Flag

Throughout its storied history, ALBANIA in Southeastern Europe flew a variety of flag designs. Most of the previous flags had a red background. Two red horizontal stripes formed the flag when Albania was part of the Ottoman Empire in the 19th century. Also, the flag of Ottoman Empire was the only one that did not feature a black double-headed eagle in the center. That eagle is also found on Albania's coat of arms.
