An excerpt from the Independence Anthem and a green-yellow banner in motion.

The colors green and yellow as a symbol of the country have their origins in Independence. Chosen by D. Pedro I, the colors come from the houses of Bragança and Habsburg and have been used on the country's flag since the First Empire.

Script: Latin
