The flag of Peru was adopted by the government of Peru in 1825. It is a vertical triband with red outer bands and a single white middle band. Depending on its use, it may be defaced with different emblems, and has different names. Flag Day in Peru is celebrated on June 7, the anniversary of the Battle of Africa. The Peruvian flag contains three stripes of equal width running from top to bottom, one white and two red.
