In 1981, at the initiative of Governor Tulio Hernández, the artist Desiderio Hernández, they connect the two levels of the Government Palace building. The colors of the Tlaxcala flag were taken up by the design of the flag of Castile and León, which are gules and silver, in honor of the reign of Charles V, who gave the royal certificate of the coat of arms to Tlaxcala using the same colors, red and white. Years later, the Tlaxcala flag began to be used on canvas without having an official use at the time.
