"Colegio Latinoamericano", managed by the Armed Forces of Nicaragua, was
founded on 15 November 1995 by Decree of the Ministry of Education No. 28.
Originally founded on 11 February 1975 as the "Bambi" kindergarten, the
institute was transferred in 1982-1983 to the Armed Forces, starting secondary
education in 1995.
The flag of "Colegio Latinoamericano", as shown graphically on the college's
website, is divided light blue-green by the descending diagonal, the division
being made of a red stripe above a white stripe. Light blue represents the
greatness of the heavens, harmony and integrity of the students. Red represents
the historical struggle of the Nicaragua people and its aspiration to learn from
history towards freedom. White represents peace and purity. Green represents
environment, forests and fields.

UNAN was established in 1958, as Universidad Nacional de Nicaragua, by
the Decree prescribing autonomy of the universities. It originates in
the university established in León - the last university established by
Spain in South America.
UNAN was split into UNAN-Managua and UNAN-León by a Decree adopted on 29
April 1982 by the Government of National Reconstruction.
UNAN-Managua is composed of 9 Faculties and 1 Institute. The university
operates three centers in Managua (Rubén Darío [central seat}, Fonseca
Amador, Ricardo Morales Avilés) and another four regional centers
(Estelí, Matagalpa, Carazo, Chontales).

The archeologist and researcher Luis Cuadra Cea (1885-1975) explained
that the coat of arms of UNAN is composed of two metals, gold and
silver, and of four colors, red, blue, green and black.
Gold is a symbol of power, wealth, wisdom, nobleness, and light.
Silver is a symbol of purity, obedience, firmness, vigilance, and eloquence.
Red is a symbol of victory, highness, audacity, and ardor.
Blue is a symbol of justice, truth, charity, beauty, and loyalty.
Green is a symbol of faith, friendship, and respect.
Black is a symbol of sadness and dolor and emphasizes prudence and honesty.
Science is highlighted by a silver sun on a blue field and the 16 golden
tongues that surrounds it in a an elegant whirl, which inscribe eight
silver stars recalling the first eight professors of the alma mater.
The three-towered castle, with the central tower higher, represents the
university, protected by the lion rampant in a posture of fight. The
shield is surmounted by a knight's helmet, recalling that everyone
should behave like knights in knowledge games and professional activities.
