Cuba Flag

Cuba flag

The national flag of Cuba consists of five alternating stripes in the colors blue and white, with a red equilateral triangle at the hoist. Within the triangle is a white five-pointed star. The flag is known as the Estrella Solitaria, or the Lone Star flag. The stripes represent the three departments in which Cuba was divided at the time the flag was designed, and the white represents the purity of the patriot cause.

The red triangle represents strength and constancy, and has Masonic influences (triangles are Masonic symbols for equality and were found in a number of other flags in the former Spanish empire). The white star represents freedom and independence. The flag was designed in 1849 and officially adopted on May 20, 1902, after the Cuban Revolution, which established the present-day communist state of the Republic of Cuba.
