Montevideo, Uruguay

Flag
Uruguay's flag features nine horizontal stripes of white and blue, representing the original nine departments. In the upper left corner, a golden sun with a face, known as the Sun of May, shines brightly. This sun symbolizes freedom and independence, drawing inspiration from the May Revolution of 1810. Each element tells a story of Uruguay's journey to becoming a nation.
