According to legend, the gods had advised the Aztecs that the place where they should establish their city was to be identified when they saw an eagle, perched on a prickly pear tree, devouring a serpent. They saw this mythical eagle on a marshy lake that is now the main plaza in Mexico City.

The Flag of Mexico (Bandera de México) as it is today was adopted in 1968, though a very similar flag had been in use since 1821. It consists of three vertical bands in green, white, and red, with the Mexican coat of arms in the center of the white band. The coat of arms portrays a golden eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus and gripping a snake in its beak and talons. The flag’s proportion is 4:7. Flag of Italy has the same colors but with different shade, proportions and no symbol in the center. #funfact
