Flag raised at Rosario
- When
- 27 February 1812
- Where
- Independencia battery, Rosario, near the Paraná River
Belgrano hoisted a flag in the cockade's colours at Rosario near the Paraná River on 27 February 1812.
Belgrano created a flag with the same colours as the cockade and hoisted it at Rosario near the Paraná River on 27 February 1812, during the Argentine War of Independence. In a letter dated 18 July 1812, he corrected that the flag was flown at the Independencia battery, not the unfinished Libertad battery. The large National Flag Memorial in Rosario was built only in 1957 and is not the 1812 site.
