In 1999, Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo started a program erecting giant flags across the country. Directed by the Secretariat of National Defense, the "banderas monumentales" (monumental flags) were placed in various cities and spots, most of which are of great significance to the nation. The decree also stipulated for the flags to measure 14.3 meters by 25 meters (47 x 82 feet), which are raised on flag poles that are 50 meters (164 feet) high.
