The flag of Risaralda was adopted 3 December 1969. The Previous Flag was of thirteen stars for the municipalities of the department changed later on to fourteen stars. The green represents the fertility and agricultural wealth. Though the correct flag is the one which has a stars arch, the manufacture has imposed the semicircle model. The stars in the model of 14 from the vexillologist Profesor Restrepo Uribe appears with stars in progressive rotation that it is the correct form, though not the used.
