![[Flag of Goiânia,
GO (Brazil)]](../images/b/br-go-go.gif)
by António Martins
From the official Goiânia municipal
website.
Dov Gutterman, 19 December 2000
According to this same website, the flag is described as green,
divided into eight sections by vertical, horizontal, and
diagonal white stripes with red overstripes. The coat of arms is
placed on a white rectangle on the center. The coat of arms would be
blazoned in English as "vert a fleur-de-lis or, in base a bar wavy argent."
The green field is described as symbolizing victory, honor, civilized
courtesy, joy, and abundance; the fleur-de-lis power; and the wavy bar the
Botafogo Creek, on which Goiânia is located. The supporters are a
bandeirante and a prospector. The motto on the scroll is Pela grandeza da
patria (For the greatness of the fatherland).
