About the Curaçao flag
The flag was adopted on 2 July 1984. The blue field stands for the sea and sky around Curaçao, and the yellow stripe for the bright sunshine that bathes the island. The two white stars represent Curaçao and its little sister island, Klein Curaçao; their five points are also read as the five continents from which the island's people have come. Curaçao's capital, Willemstad, with its colourful Dutch colonial architecture, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
