Charleston

Charleston, the historic pearl of the South, blends colonial architecture, harbor, sea breeze and painful memory in a flag with a strong identity.

The flag of Charleston

Charleston is one of the most beautiful cities in the South: pastel facades, cobbled streets, immense trees draped in Spanish moss, a lively harbor, an ever-present history. It is a luminous, elegant city, but also marked by a heavy past: that of slavery and the maritime trade.

It embodies its relationship to the sea, to the climate, to the Southern identity.

Charleston is a blend of beauty, nostalgia and historical tension. The flag flies as a bittersweet reminder: a magnificent city that forgets nothing of its past.
