Albania lies along the Adriatic Sea in southeastern Europe. The narrow coastal plain rises to mountains that are almost 2,000 meters (6,500 feet) high, which cover most of the country. Albania is a South-East European country situated on the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea, with Montenegro and Serbia to the north, Macedonia to the east, and Greece to the south.

Since early in the fight for Albanian independence, the two-headed eagle was used on various flag designs over the years. Several versions of the flag were created by modifying the eagle's design, sometimes adding white or gold accents. When the region was kept under Italian rule, the eagle was flanked by two Roman-style pillars.

Albania pronounced freedom on November 28, 1912. Now, the country received a dark red flag with the dark outline of a two-headed eagle, a white six-pointed star over the heads.

The Albanian flag is red with a double-headed eagle, reflecting the region's Byzantine roots and representing the two major parts of the nation, church, and state.

The banner of Albania is dark red, with a black two-headed falcon in the inside. The two heads mean chapel and government, two central points in Albania's history and national character. The hawk, the national image of Albania, has been used as a part of the range following the Middle Ages. Amid the Byzantine Empire, the a brilliant two-headed falcon on a red foundation was used to symbolize the magnificent family.

This symbol was often used on the coat of arms of the nobility. Remarkably, the Kastrioti family, known for the Ottoman Empire revolt in the mid-fifteenth century, used the coat of arms including a twofold headed hawk. The red foundation remains for toughness, fortitude, quality and valor appeared by the general population, and the readiness to protect freedom. Flag Company Inc decided to assist with the history development by providing special decals and banners to make it easy to build a bit of university right at home.
