This city of 19,891 inhabitants was founded in 1811. The four
green rectangles symbolize our valleys and mountains. The golden
cross represents the fidelity to the Patron Saint, Santo Cristo
de la Salud. At the centre of the cross, the elongated octogonal
design stands for an emerald, since our town is known as the
"Emerald of the South".

The flag from Pueblos-de-puertorico.com site (defunct) differs
slightly from the one on top. In the center is a green emerald
which looks a bit like a handgrenade . Although the description
at lexjuris
site states that it is octogonal the images on both sites
have the emerald rounded. Patillas is southeast Puerto Rico just
east of Guayama.
