Costa Rica National Flag - Official Design and Symbolism #142013 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of Costa Rica consists of five horizontal stripes: two outer blue bands, two inner white bands, and a central red band twice as wide. Centered on the red stripe is the national coat of arms, depicting three volcanoes, a rising sun, a merchant ship, and seven stars representing the provinces, all encircled by the motto “República de Costa Rica” and “América Central.” The design reflects the nation’s geography, history, and democratic values.
