This building is located in the pueblo of Rincon. It is decorated with the flags of Puerto Rico (the central flag) and that of the United States. The two national flags are flown side by side because Puerto Rico is a free state in assocation with the United States. So far so good... but what about the third flag... the orange, green and yellow one?
This flag is that of the Municipality of Rincon. From Wikipedia:
"The central white star represents the urban zone. The surrounding nine stars represent the nine wards of the municipality. The red and orange colors symbolize the vigor and the vitality of the city. The yellow represents Christianity. The green represents vegetation and the hope of the progress of the municipality. Finally, the white represents purity and the unity between the wards and the urban zone."
Pretty neat...
