The national banners
Unusual among nations, Uruguay has three official "National Banners" (Banderas Patrias): the Pabellón, as described above, the flag of Artigas, and the flag of the Treinta y Tres (Decree 18, February 1952). The Flag of Artigas pays homage to José Gervasio Artigas, national hero of Uruguay. The Flag of the Treinta y Tres pays homage to the disembarkation of the Thirty-Three Orientals at the Agraciada Beach on April 19, 1825 While the Pabellón Nacional is the main national flag, the other two flags are also officially recognized for historical reasons, and all three are flown together on government buildings.
