This city of 26,595 inhabitants was founded on August 25, 1793.
The flag of Peñuelas [Pen~uelas] was designed through a project
of the Institute for Puertorican 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.
