Overview

I have just received from the Government of Cundinamarca a book that deals with on the shields and flags of this department. This book is called "Shields, Flags and Hymns of Cundinamarca", written by Rosalba Salazar Gallo for the Secretariat of Culture of Cundinamarca. Mosquera is in Sabana Occidente (Western Sabana) Province. Ratio as all Cundinamarca Flags is 2:3.

From <www.cundinamarca.gov.co>:
"Consta de dos franjas triangulares de color amarillo y verde, cuyo significado es:
Amarillo: las riquezas de los antepasados Muiscas y Panches, como el oro y los cultivos de trigo.
Verde: la inmensidad de los campos donde se cultiva la tierra y la esperanza de progreso."
Felipe Carrillo, 20 November 2004
