This flag is the flag of Qrendi, a town of about 3,000 residents near the Mediterranean Sea on the southern shore of Malta island in MALTA. Qrendi is home to some of the world’s oldest standing manmade structures — Ħaġar Qim (Hagar Qim) and Mnajdra — which are components of a nationwide UNESCO World Heritage complex known as the Megalithic Temples of Malta (↗). The town’s Latin motto, Tyrium Dirutas Servo Moles, translates into Maltese as “Inhares il-Bini tal-Fenici” and into English as “Conserve the Buildings of the Phoenicians.” An alternative flag in use consists of a white background, topped by a blue coat-of-arms shield with a central white star and yellow/gold outline. Neighboring cities and communities of Qrendi include (Hal) Kirkop, Mqabba, (Hal) Safi, Siġġiewi, and Żurrieq.
