Haiti is a Caribbean country that shares the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic to its east. Though it’s still recovering from a 2010 earthquake, many of Haiti's landmarks dating to the early 19th century remain intact. These include Citadelle la Ferrière, a mountaintop fortress, and the nearby ruins of Sans-Souci Palace, the baroque former royal home of King Henry I.
The Haitian flag is two blue and red horizontal bands with the Coat of Arms in a white box in the middle. The motto "L'Union Fait La Force," which means "unity is strength," is printed in small text below the coat of arms. The flag of Haiti was adopted on February 26, 1986.
