NATO Star

The NATO Star is a sculpture situated in the court of honor of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's (NATO) headquarters in Brussels, Belgium.

The sculpture was unveiled in 1971. It symbolises the bond between Europe and North America, and is inspired by the alliance's flag, which was introduced in 1953.

At NATO's old headquarters, the star was surrounded by the flags of the NATO member countries. When NATO moved to its new headquarters, the star moved across Boulevard Leopold III to its new home on Saturday 28 May 2016.
