This city of 100,000 inhabitants is c. 50 km south of San Juan
and was founded in 1769. [Apparently (if I am referring to the
CoA), the cross is the symbol of the Order of Preachers of Santo
Domingo, and represents San Pedro Martyr of Verona, an
illustrious figure of this Order and Patron of the town of
Guaynabo. Green and silver (replaced with white on the flag) are
the oldest heraldical colours of Guaynabo. Note: my image does
not look like the "original" one on the Lexjuris
site , because the text clearly says that there are 6 green
indentations and 5 white ones, whereas the image on the site
shows only 5 green and 4 white, which obviously changes the width
of the cross as well. I did not make another image , for this
really seems to be a gross mistake,
