The flag of Artigas is one of the three official flags of Uruguay. Originally the national flag of the Liga Federal between 1815 and 1820, it was made an official symbol by the Uruguayan state in 1952, and pays homage to political and military leader José Gervasio Artigas, its designer and the national hero of Uruguay.[1]
It has three horizontal stripes inspired by the Belgrano's flag, the top and bottom being blue, and the central one white. On top of them, it is crossed by a diagonal red stripe, a symbol of federalism.
In Uruguay, the flag of Artigas must be flown alongside the national flag and the flag of the Treinta y Tres near or on government buildings.
