Design
The Fist Lady, Pacífica Fernández Oreamuno, designed the
flag of Costa Rica in 1848. The flag was designed after
the ideals of the French Revolution - freedom, equality,
and brotherhood - and the colors of the French National
Flag.
Dimensions:
The flag of Costa Rica consists of five horizontal
stripes: A red stripe located in the center, between two
white stripes, which are between two blue stripes. The
width of each stripe is 1/6 of the total width of the
flag, except the red stripe, which is 2/6 of the total
width.
