The Flag of the Department of Antioquia is the flag symbol of the Colombian Department of Antioquia.[1]

The flag originated in the University of Antioquia but it was not officially established as symbol of Antioquia until 1962 by ordinance of the Government of Antioquia Department.[2][3]

The flag has two equal horizontal stripes. The top white stripe symbolizes purity, integrity, obedience, eloquence and triumph. The lower green stripe is a symbol of mountains, hope, wealth, faith, service and respect.
