The flag of the Venezuelan state of Carabobo consists of a thick blue horizontal band below a thin green stripe and an sunrise, offset to the right, on a red background. In the center of the sunrise is an outline of the Arch of Carabobo, a prominent monument of the Battle of Carabobo during the Venezuelan War of Independence. Red represents the blood spilled on the battlefield, blue represents the sea, the sunrise represents the light that overcomes darkness, and green represents the agricultural production of the state. This flag was adopted in December of 1995.
