the three colors of the Colombian flag have distinct significance. The Yellow represents gold. The country had tremendous wealth and is rumored to be the fabled El Dorado. The Blue represents El Mar, the ocean, for Colombia is the only country in South America to be bordered by two oceans. And the Red. The Red on the Colombian flag represents the blood shed by all those who fought to liberate the country.This particular flag flies from the mast on the castle guarding Cartagena.
