Argentina's flag is composed of three horizontal stripes, two of which are light blue and the central one white. In the middle of the latter there is a 32-pointed golden sun with the drawing of a human face. 

There are several possible explanations that justify the colors of the flag. The most popular and poetic one states that it was simply inspired in the colors of the sky. Historians claim, however, that light blue and white were the colors of the Bourbon family that ruled Spain. Independence revolutionaries would have then started to disseminate the use of these colors not to raise any suspicion.

The flag was created by general Manuel Belgrano, in the place where now lies the city of Rosario. The flag day is celebrated in his death anniversary (June 20th).

Sean eternos los laureles
Que supimos conseguir

Coronados de gloria vivamos
O juremos con gloria morir
O juremos con gloria morir
