- Description:
- The coat of arms is French-shaped, its field is divided diagonally into two parts that are characterized as follows: one finds a pebble valley with its river, blue mountains in the background, two palms and five golden cities. The river referred to is the Cauca which runs throughout the valley, the palm trees mean the tropical climate and the five Golden Cities as homage to the Confederate cities of Valle del Cauca.
On the lower right part the port of Buenaventura, with its bay, its pier and the floating panorama of Anchicayá is shown. At sea, a ship of the national fleet.
The coat of arms is adorned on its left by the flag of the Confederated cities, adopted in 1811, whose colors are blue and white in horizontal stripes of equal width, while on its right side by a bundle of sugar cane and a bouquet of coffee commemorating the greatest richness found on the floor of the department.
At the top of the shield, a sun that signifies unity, grace, abundance and wealth, and is at the same time a symbol of freedom and benevolence. The shield is headed by a fluttering ribbon in which it is written "July 3, 1810 — May 1, 1910". - Buy Now:
