The Dominican Republic flag is made up of three horizontal stripes, blue, white, and red. The blue stripe represents the ocean, the white represents the sky, and the red represents the blood of the nation. The Dominican Republic coat of arms is featured in the center of the flag. The shield is divided into four parts: top left is a gold eagle with outstretched wings, top right is a silver castle with a green roof, bottom left is a gold olive tree with green leaves, and bottom right is silver waves crashing against a rocky shore.
