==Symbols== The {{lang|es|municipio}} has an official flag and coat of arms.<ref>{{cite web | title=Ley NΓΊm. 70 de 2006 -Ley para disponer la oficialidad de la bandera y el escudo de los setenta y ocho (78) municipios. | website=LexJuris de Puerto Rico | url=https://www.lexjuris.com/LEXLEX/Leyes2006/lexl2006070.htm | language=es | access-date=2021-06-15}}</ref> ===Flag=== The Culebra flag consists of five vertical stripes, three alternate yellow and two green ones. The yellow central stripe has the map of Culebra in green.<ref name="LexJuris (Leyes y Jurisprudencia) de Puerto Rico 2020">{{cite web | title=CULEBRA | website=LexJuris (Leyes y Jurisprudencia) de Puerto Rico | date=19 February 2020 | url=http://www.lexjuris.com/pueblos/pueblos_files/CULEBRA.html | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200219000810/http://www.lexjuris.com/pueblos/pueblos_files/CULEBRA.html | archive-date=19 February 2020 | url-status=live | language=es | access-date=16 September 2020}}</ref> ===Coat of arms=== The field is ''tierced'' in three, in the Spanish manner, ''vert, argent, or''. The cross and the episcopal [[crozier]] symbolize Bishop San Ildefonso, because originally the island was called '''San Ildefonso de la Culebra'''. The crowned serpent (''culebra'' means [[snake|serpent]]) ''ondoyant in pale'' is the emblem of its name. The mailed arm refers to the coat of the Escudero family, first settlers of the island. The laurel cross refers to the civic triumph reached when Culebra obtained the evacuation of the [[United States Navy]]. The crest is a coronet bearing two masts, their sails filled by the wind.<ref name="LexJuris (Leyes y Jurisprudencia) de Puerto Rico 2020" />
