Flags of the World - El Salvador

January 08, 2022

The blue color in the flag represents the sky and the two great oceans of Central America. The white color represents peace and solidarity with the world. Blue is an important color in Salvadoran culture and identity. The center of the coat of arms consists of a triangle, in which five volcanoes rise out of the sea. They symbolize the five member states of the United Provinces of Central America. The Phrygian cap, a red hat, tops a staff, and represents liberty. Behind the cap is a golden sun with beaming rays, encircled by the date of Salvadoran independence. At the top of the triangle is a rainbow arch in an azure sky which biblically symbolizes peace. Surrounding the triangle are five flags representing the five nations of Central America. Branches of laurel frame the triangle, representing victory. The branches are divided into fourteen sections, representing the fourteen departments of El Salvador.

Thanks a lot William!
