Switzerland at a glance: its flag, its capital Bern, its population and where it sits on the world map. Plus a way to test yourself afterwards.
Along with the Vatican’s, the Swiss flag is one of only two square national flags. Its white cross on a red field goes back to the battle standards of the medieval cantons.
Linked to Christianity, the cross only became a federal symbol in the 19th century; its proportions were officially fixed in 1889.
