Nicaragua

About the flag

The flag of Nicaragua features three horizontal stripes: blue, white, and blue, with the country’s coat of arms centered in the white band. The blue represents the two oceans that border Nicaragua, while the white symbolizes peace. The coat of arms includes a triangle, which stands for the three volcanoes, and five volcanoes represent the five Central American countries. Nicaragua’s flag was officially adopted in 1971, but its design has roots tracing back to the country's independence movements. To remember Nicaragua's flag, think of the unique three-stripe pattern and its symbolism of peace and the country's geographical significance. This distinct design sets it apart from flags of neighboring countries, making it easier to identify.
