Description
- Gran Colombia (1819–1831) was the Bolivarian federal republic that briefly united today's Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Panama
- Construction: a horizontal tricolour of yellow (double-width), blue, and red — the design adopted by Francisco de Miranda in 1806 and used by Bolívar — with the República de Colombia central coat of arms
- The tricolour survives on all three modern successor flags (Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador)
Trivia
- Dissolved in 1831 after Venezuela and Ecuador seceded; Bolívar died that same year, disillusioned with his dream of a united Andes
- The Cosiata movement (1826) led by General Páez in Venezuela began the breakup
- Panama remained part of Colombia until its 1903 US-backed independence during the canal era
