== History == === Origins and early usage === The integration of a star into Galician national symbology predates the modern estreleira. Prior to the Spanish Civil War, intellectual and artist Castelao incorporated a white or silver star, alongside a sickle, into his secular proposal for the Galician coat of arms.
