Flag of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

Flag of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

The flag of Buenos Aires city, the capital of Argentina, officially adopted on October 24 1995, portrays an eagle symbol in the coat of arms of the House of Habsburg, to which Emperor Charles V belonged. This is because Buenos Aires was first founded (1536) during his ruling as king of Spain, and founded again (1580) under the reign of his son Philip II.
