The Flag of Argentina

The Argentinean flag or flag or Argentina that you will see flying from flag poles today consists of three horizontal stripes, each equally wide

. The bottom and the upper stripes or bands are colored blue whereas the center band is colored white.

This particular flag was initially created by a gentleman called M. Belgrano. The Argentinean flag was first flown in the city of Rosario, all the way back in 1812 during the "Argentina War," in which Argentina fought for independence. The very first "Triumvirate" did not accept or approve the flag. It was not until 1816 when the "Congress of Tucuman" finally approved the flag and adopted it as the national banner for Argentina. Two years later, in 1818, the yellow sun, displayed in the middle of the center of the flag, was added.

Now, the flag or Argentina that displays the sun in the middle of the center of the banner is called "Bandere Oficial de Ceremonia," which is Spanish for the official ceremonial flag (or banner). The banner without the sun is known as the "Bandere de Ornato," or ornamental flag. Interestingly, both are accepted as the national banner for Argentina. However, the ornamental Argentinean flag must always be displayed below the official ceremony banner. In terms of vexillology, the official ceremonial flag is considered the national, state and battle flag but also ensign.

From the year 1978, the banners proportions are 9:14. Its official size is ninety centimeters by one-hundred and forty centimeters like some other flags of different countries. As mentioned above, the flag features three equally wide stripes alternating light blue and white (center band). The Sun on the center band is modeled after the symbol of Inti, the Incan god of the Sun.
