History of the flag

Flag of Catalonia named estelada (starry). This flag was designed in the beginning of the 20th century by the Catalan nationalists, to serve as an ensign to an independent Catalan state. The Cuban flag was the model for it, because it had just gained independence, and thousands of Catalans returned from there.

Blue Rectangle

I saw in an encyclopedia a flag where the blue triangle was replaced by a blue rectangle with always a white star on it, it was said that this flag was the one of the "Generalitat of Catalunya" under the 1930s Spanish Republic.
