La Bandera de Argentina features three horizontal stripes: light blue at the top and bottom, with a white stripe in the middle. The colors are said to represent the sky and clouds, while the white symbolizes peace. In the center of the white stripe is the Sol de Mayo, a sun with a face, which is a national emblem of Argentina. The flag was designed by Manuel Belgrano in 1812 during the Argentine War of Independence. It has become a symbol of national pride and unity for the people of Argentina. The flag is celebrated on various national holidays, including the Day of the Flag.
