The flag of Costa Rica consists of five horizontal stripes: two outer blue stripes representing the sky and opportunities, two white stripes symbolizing peace and wisdom, and a central red stripe honoring the blood shed for freedom. At the center of the red stripe lies the national coat of arms, depicting three volcanoes, the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea, a merchant ship, and seven stars representing the country’s provinces. The flag was officially adopted on November 12, 1848, and modified in 1906 to include the current emblem.
