Overview

The image is based on Gaceta de Banderas 15, "Simbolos Patrios" Gobernación de Caldas, Secretaríade Educación Departamental.

I must stress that this source is a poor indicator of the actual proportions of the municipal flags. Some flags are just annexed to the Coat of Arms in a square proportion. Two of these flags were presented previously in a 2:1 proportion.  Many of these flags could be such.  I think it will be wise to place a note that indicates that the true proportions of these flags could be 2:1 also.

From <www.gobernaciondecaldas.gov.co>:
"La Bandera - Ideada por el profesor Luis Mario Patiño Betancur y adoptada según acuerdo 06 de enero 27 de 1983.
La bandera de Villamaría está conformada en figura rectangular dividida en tres fajas horizontales iguales, con los colores Azul, Blanco y Verde.
El Azul en su parte superior, como color del firmamento representa la justicia, la verdad y la lealtad.
El blanco, como emblema de la integridad, la firmeza y la vigilancia, representa las nieves del Ruiz.
El verde, como símbolo de la Libertad, la Juventud y el Servicio, representa la agricultura."
