There is unrecognizable yellow device in the centre.
Dirk Schonberger and Dov Gutterman, 15 July
2002
The unrecognizable yellow device in the
center is an 8 point star. “La Estrella” means The Star
in Spanish, and that’s why they have a star in their flag.
From <www.laestrella.gov.co>:
"El autor es el señor Jorge Iván Cadavid Aguirre.
Está formada por tres fajas horizontales del mismo ancho, y en
la faja central una estrella de ocho puntas.
El Azul significa la justicia, la dulzura, la lealtad y la
piedad.
El Blanco significa el color de la paz.
El Verde significa el paisaje que caracteriza el municipio,
también la esperanza, la integridad, el silencio y la
fraternidad.
BDM, 23 July 2006
The designer of the flag is Jorge Iván
Cadavid Aguirre. The flag is made of three equal horizontal
stripes with an eight-pointed star in the central stripe. Blue
symbolizes justice, gentleness, loyalty and piety. White is the
colour of peace. Green symbolizes the characteristic landscape of
the municipality, as well as hope, integrity, silence and
fraternity.
More information after the municipal website: La Estrella (55,746
inhabitants in June 2004 - Siderenses; 35 sq. km; mean elevation,
1,775 m asl, maximum elevation 2, 800 m [Alto de Romeral]) is
located in the southern part of the Valle del Aburrá, 16 km
south of the town of Medellin.
The village of Nuestra Señora de la Estrella was founded by a
Decree signed on 4 September 1685 by Francisco Carillo
de Albornoz, Governor of the Province of Antioquia. This followed
a petition sent to the Governor by the Anaconas, requiring the
creation of a new village. The first colony was set up in a place
called Ancón and later transferred to its present location,
where the climate was better and the water resources more
numerous. La Estrella was granted the status of municipality in
1883. The name fo the municipality (lit., the Star) recalls that
an inhabitant of the early colony once found a golden star in a
brook. However, it is most probably related to "Maris
Stella", one of the traditional titles of the Blessed
Virgin.
