HISTORY: The flag of Uruguay, officially known as the “Pabellón Nacional.” Is a distinctive emblem that reflects the nation’s history, values, and identity. Adopted on July 16, 1830. The flag symbolises the country’s independence and sovereignty.
The flag of Uruguay consists of nine horizontal stripes of equal width alternately coloured white and blue. The white stripes represent the pure and peaceful intentions of the Uruguayan people. In the upper-left corner (hoist side) of the flag. There is a white square containing a golden sun with a face, known as the Sun of May.
The Sun of May is a reference to the May Revolution of 1810 in Buenos Aires. Which ultimately influenced the struggle for independence in Uruguay. The face on the sun is said to symbolise the Inca sun god Inti. Emphasising the cultural heritage of the indigenous people.
The nine stripes on the flag represent the nine original departments of Uruguay at the time of its adoption. The blue and white colour scheme. Inspired by the Spanish tricolour, underscores the country’s historical ties with Spain.
The Uruguayan flag, with its simple yet meaningful design. Serves as a visual representation of the nation’s commitment to peace, unity, and independence. It is proudly displayed across the country on various occasions, reflecting the pride and identity of the people of Uruguay.
