In 1910, when the republic was established, the royal white-and-blue flag was replaced by today’s green-and-red flag. Red stands for the revolution and green for hope.
The Portuguese coat of arms is superimposed on a sphere symbolising the major discoveries of Portuguese navigators.
The flag was officially adopted in 1911.
