===Flag and coat of arms=== The colors [[blue]] and [[Gold (color)|gold]] were chosen for the shield, distinctive of the city of Caguas. The figures symbolize both the [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|indigenous]] and [[Christianity|Christian]] origins of the city. The coat of arms consists of a shield with a blue field. Upon the field are two sets of three golden arrows, forming a [[saltire|cross of St. Andrew]]. Above the cross is a crown which represents [[Caguax]], cacique of the Turabo Valley region at the time of the arrival of the [[Spaniards|Spanish]] conquerors. Arrows were used as a remembrance of the first Christian place of worship established in the region which was dedicated under the patronage of [[St. Sebastian]]. There are [[pineapple]]s interspersed to reflect the native agriculture. A [[castellation|castellated]] wall surmounts the shield to show the city's having been granted status as a [[municipality]] by the [[Monarchy of Spain|Spanish Crown]]. On the flag, the shield sits atop another blue field on which the cross of arrows motif is repeated.<ref name="LexJuris (Leyes y Jurisprudencia) de Puerto Rico 2020">{{cite web | title=CAGUAS | website=LexJuris (Leyes y Jurisprudencia) de Puerto Rico | date=19 February 2020 | url=http://www.lexjuris.com/pueblos/pueblos_files/CAGUAS.html | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200219000500/http://www.lexjuris.com/pueblos/pueblos_files/CAGUAS.html | archive-date=19 February 2020 | url-status=live | language=es | access-date=16 September 2020}}</ref>
