Callao, city and department use a light blue flag,
sometimes with
its coat of arms in the center.
Jan-Patrick Fischer, 15 Mar 2001
Is a plain light blue flag used on the other times?…

Callao is not a department but a constitutional province.

This coat-of-arms-like emblem consists of an ogival shield with
counter-curved top (the middle point higher), light blue charged with
dark blue wavy bendlets from the second third down, charged overall with
a trunco-conic (or rather anti-paraboloid) golden castle tower flagged
Peru plain and masoned gules enhanced with a
three-dimensional lighting effect, narrow dark blue border; as crest a
featureless Sun, with 28 visible rays, alternating golden yellow (the
longer ones) and light yellow (the shorter ones), enhanced with a
three-dimensional lighting effect; on a yellow scroll the motto «La
fi»d?«el y generosa Ciudad del Callao, Asilo de las Leyes y de la
Libertad» set in two lines of text with black sans capitals, flanked
by two groups of three leaves; scroll and leaves slightly overlap the shield.
The motto means «The loyal and generous City of »the« Callao, refuge of the
Law and of the Liberty».
