Flag of Argentina

The national flag of Argentina consists of a triband of two sky blue stripes with a white one separating them. In the center band is the sun emblem, which according to tradition was created by General Belgrano before the Battle of Parana when he looked at the sky. The sun emblem is an important icon for Argentina and has appeared on earlier manifestations of the flag.
