This city of 26,595 inhabitants was founded on August 25,
1793. The flag of Peñuelas was designed through a project of the
Institute for Puerto Rican Culture. The intense yellow field
stands for the sun, symbol of physical life. The purple cross
symbolizes Christianity and its ecclesiastic order, and
represents spiritual life. The arms of the cross extend up to the
sides of the rectangle, as a symbol for the universality of
Christianity and the Church. This project for a flag of Penuelas
was created in 1974.

The crossbeams of the flag on
pueblos-de-puertorico.com site (defunct), are much thicker than
the ones on top, and they are blue, not purpura (violet?) as on lexjuris
site . According to that site it was designed by the
'Instituto de Cultura Puertorriquena' in 1974. Penuelas is in
south Puerto Rico, 12 km north of Ponce.
