The Flag of Pernambuco is one of the official flags of the 27 states of Brazil. It features a white field with two horizontal stripes, one red (at the top) and one blue (at the bottom). In the center, there is an emblem representing the state’s coat of arms. The design symbolizes unity between the Pernambucan people and their history, as the red and blue stripes represent the state’s two main rivers, So Francisco and Capibaribe. The emblem on the flag includes a shield divided into quarters, each with a unique symbol representing aspects of Pernambuco’s heritage such as agriculture, industry, and religion. The flag was officially adopted in 1947 and has since been a significant symbol of pride for residents of Pernambuco, Brazil.
