Puerto Rico Flag - Symbol of Identity and Heritage #3643499 (License: Personal Use)

The Puerto Rican flag consists of five alternating red and white horizontal stripes, with a blue isosceles triangle at the hoist bearing a single white five-pointed star. Adopted in 1895 by the Puerto Rican Revolutionary Committee, it symbolizes liberty (red), victory (white), and the island’s sky and coastal waters (blue), while the star represents the Commonwealth itself. Though Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, the flag remains a powerful emblem of cultural identity and national pride.

This image is commonly used on government websites, educational resources, cultural events, and diaspora community pages to represent Puerto Rican heritage. It serves users seeking information about Puerto Rico’s history, symbolism, or civic identity, especially around holidays like Día de la Bandera (Flag Day) on July 25.
