The flag of Puerto Rico consists of five horizontal stripes-alternating red and white-with a blue isosceles triangle at the hoist bearing a white, five-pointed star. Adopted in 1952 upon Puerto Rico’s establishment as a U.S. Commonwealth, its design reflects the island’s cultural identity and historical struggle for autonomy. The red symbolizes courage, white signifies peace and liberty, and the blue represents the sky and sea surrounding the island.
