This toponym [also used by a town in Portugal] is shared by a much larger and
much newer Brazilian town, Barbacena Municipality (Município de Barbacena),
in Minas Gerais State (mesoregion
Campo das Vertentes, and eponym microregion); 788,001 km² and 128,572
inhabitants in 2009. According to the
Portuguese Wikipedia (also in
English), its flag is white with the
municipal
emblem centered on it. This emblem shows a light blue disc with a white
triangle on it and an orle of 12 stars around it (the upper six pointing up
and the others down); on the triangle a representation of a hand of the rebel
leader Tiradentes, as one of his arms was kept on display in
Barbacena after his capture and death; around the blue disc, from 10 to 2 o'clock,
a white scroll reading Município de Barbacena in black sans serif
capitals.
