The flag is white with the coat of arms on the center. The coat of arms was
originally adopted by law no. 638 of 13 July 1966 and revised by law no. 796
of 19 December 1969. The field of the coat of arms is red with a silver gear
surmounted by a sun emitting four equal golden rays, all superimposed on an
arrow and a halberd in saltire, gold and silver. Three inescutcheons
conjoined in chief show in silver an oil refinery, an electrical tower, and
a steel mill. The shield is flanked by green banana tree branches. The
name of the municipality on the scroll is flanked by the dates 1833 and 1949.
