- Coat of arms
- National flag
- a) Five horizontal stripes of the same width;
- b) three of indigo blue colour and two white, arranged alternately;
- c) at one of its ends it has an equilateral triangle of red colour, one of whose sides is vertical, occupies the entire height of the flag, and constitutes its hoist edge; and
- a) The lone five-pointed star, which represents the free, independent and sovereign republic, as well as the unity of Cubans;
- b) the equilateral triangle, which represents the historical ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity; the red colour placed within it alludes to the blood shed in the struggle;
- c) the white stripes, which indicate the purity of the ideals and the virtue of Cubans; and
- d) the blue stripes, which reveal the lofty and glorious aspirations of our patriots and represent the administrative division of Cuba at the time the National Flag was designed, during the colonial era.
Translated from the Official Gazette of the Republic of Cuba The National Flag is rectangular in shape, twice as long as it is wide, composed of:
d) the triangle bears at its centre a white five-pointed star, inscribed in an imaginary circle, whose diameter is equal to one third of the height of the flag, with one of its points oriented towards the upper free edge of the flag.
Unofficial translation by WorldometerTranslated from the Official Gazette of the Republic of Cuba The elements that make up the National Flag are:
Unofficial translation by WorldometerTranslated from Cubadebate It was created in the United States by the former general in the service of Spain Narciso López, born in Venezuela, [...] having conceived it in the company of Miguel Teurbe Tolón and of his wife and first cousin Emilia, who was the first to embroider it
Unofficial translation by WorldometerTranslated from the Press Information Centre of Cuba On 19 May 1850 Narciso López used this same flag when landing at Cárdenas with 600 men to begin the insurrection. He takes the city, hoisting for the first time on Cuban territory the flag of the lone star.
Unofficial translation by WorldometerTranslated from the Official Gazette of the Republic of Cuba The flag of the lone star is a symbol of the nation and constitutes the National Flag.
It was adopted at the Assembly of Guáimaro on 11 April 1869.

Al combate, corred, bayameses, Que la Patria os contempla orgullosa; No temáis una muerte gloriosa, Que morir por la Patria es vivir.
En cadenas vivir, es vivir en afrenta y oprobio sumido; Del clarín escuchad el sonido; ¡A las armas, valientes, corred! En cadenas vivir, es vivir En afrenta y oprobio sumido; Del clarín escuchad el sonido; ¡A las armas, valientes, corred!
