Summary
About the place: Barra do Rio Azul is a municipality located in the northern part of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. It is situated near the border with Santa Catarina State in a region known for its agriculture and hilly terrain.
Flag Description: The flag features a white field with a circular emblem containing the municipal coat of arms centered in the upper portion. Below it, a stylized pall-like structure is formed: a dark blue stripe with white fimbriation enters from the hoist (left side from the viewer's perspective) and a lighter blue stripe enters from the fly (right side), both curving downwards to form a single combined vertical stripe extending to the bottom edge.
Symbolism: The white field represents peace, purity, and harmony among the inhabitants. The blue stripes joining into a single flow symbolize the confluence of rivers and waterways characteristic of the municipality after which it is named. The coat of arms in the circular frame depicts local history, agricultural activities (maize, wheat), natural wealth, and the municipality's founding date.
