THE FLAG.

Madrid flag is use to be confused  with the province of Madrid flag which has a red background with 7 white stars.

What is in the middle of this flag is Madrid seal. It has a bear standing at a madroño tree. This kind of tree is typical spanish. Some people don't know what is the point of that seal. there is a theory which is the following: it represents farming rights between the clergy and the citiziens.

Also, as you can see on the blue part of the seal, there are 7 stars. They represent the secen stars of the Osa Mayor (Great bear) constellation.
