Trakai district - on a blue field the arms of Trakai District:
an unmounted knight with lance and shield and with the Gediminas
Gate. Flag proportions 5:6, free edges bordered with narrow
silver and red rectangles framed on both sides with narrow silver
stripes, finial is a golden lance head with a ring. The arms are
the ancient arms of the Trakai Duchy and Province, originating in
the 14th century, and this particular design is based on the
armory of the early 15th century. The "Gediminas Gate"
is now considered the Lithuanian national symbol, but
historically it originated as the badge of the Kestutis /
Vytautas branch (Dukes of Trakai, later Grand Dukes of Lithuania)
of the Gediminas Dynasty. The blue field is traditional for
banners of Trakai province.
