Sardinia's civil and state flag (Italian: Bandiera della Sardegna [Bandiera dei quattro mori]), also known as the flag of the Four Moors, consists of the St George's Cross and the four heads of the blindfolded Moors in the past. The most widely accepted hypothesis is that the heads represent the heads of Moorish princes who were defeated by the Aragons. The height-to-width ratio in the flag is 2:3, and the flag was adopted on April 15, 1999 (used since 1281). Sardinia is a politically autonomous region of Italy. Its capital is Cagliari; its population is approximately 1.64 million (2019); and its area is 24,100 km².
