Summary

About the place: Barcarena is a municipality and major port city in the state of Pará, Brazil, located near the mouth of the Tocantins River near Belém. It is known as a key industrial hub specializing in aluminum processing and bauxite export.

Flag Description: The flag features a green field with a central horizontal red stripe, over which is laid a large yellow lozenge reminiscent of the Brazilian national flag. In the center of the lozenge lies a blue disc featuring a brick industrial chimney with a yellow top or flame. On either side of the chimney are black industrial elements—a gear element shaped like the letter 'C' on the left side from the viewer's perspective and a gear element shaped like the letter 'B' on the right side, forming the initials of the municipality.

Symbolism: The green field, yellow lozenge, and blue circle reflect national Brazilian symbolism and the rich nature of the Amazon region. The red horizontal stripe and the elements in the central circle—the industrial chimney and gear elements forming the letters C and B—symbolize industrial growth, local manufacturing, and processing industries.
