The flag is often depicted without a coat of arms. Their colors go back to the coat of arms. The coat of arms shows a red Santiago cross on its left , a white scallop shell on the left and right, and a green mountain, Monte Laturce , in the lower part . The left half shows a golden castle with three towers (a reference to Castile , to which La Rioja belonged until 1982) on a golden bridge. Underneath, white and blue wavy lines.
