===Flags===

Throughout history, Como has used the Cross of Saint John as its flag: a white cross over a red field. Around the 12th Century, the city started to fly a version of this banner that included the word "LIBERTAS" in the bottom right corner, as represented in the town's [[heraldic achievement]]. This flag can be seen displayed at the town hall ([[Palazzo Cernezzi]]). [[File:Flag of Como with writing.png|thumb|''Version of the flag with the word LIBERTAS'']]
