2019 年乌拉圭独立日

Todays Doodle depicts the flag of Uruguay, the South American nation that declared its independence from Brazil on this day in 1825.

The blue, white, and yellow flag was designed by Joaquin Suárez, a leader in Uruguays struggle for independence, and was officially adopted in 1830. The nine stripes represent the original nine departments of the Uruguayan Republic. El sol de mayo (the Sun of May), the national emblem of both Uruguay and neighboring Argentina, appears in the flags upper left corner.

Independence Day celebrations center around Montevideo, Uruguays capital city, particularly at the Plaza Independencia, which is located in the historic Ciudad Vieja district. A flag-raising ceremony marks the occasion, followed by tributes to national heroes and a grand parade. Many citizens take this day off from work and school to spend time with family and friends, enjoying concerts and fireworks, or strolling La Rambla, the worlds longest continuous sidewalk, which runs along Montevideos scenic beachfront overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

¡Feliz dia de la Independencia, Uruguay!
