Cuban flag

Castro's national standard

The Cuban flag is the national flag of Cuba, featuring five alternating blue and white horizontal stripes with a red triangle at the hoist bearing a white five-pointed star.

The design dates to 1849 and became official upon independence.

In Cuban exile communities, displaying the flag signals opposition to the Castro government: Cuban flags flew at the Miami protest.
