Summary

Description
Català: La rosa dels vents és un cercle que té marcats els 32 rumbs de procedència del vent en què convencionalment es divideix la circumferència de l'horitzó. Per a denominar un cert vent, o bé es parla del sector geogràfic concret des d'on bufa, o bé se li dona un nom propi.
Español: Una rosa de los vientos es un símbolo en forma de círculo que tiene marcado alrededor los rumbos en que se divide la circunferencia del horizonte, y que serían norte, sur, este y oeste. Su invención se atribuye al mallorquín Ramon Llull, aunque la descripción pormenorizada que da Plinio el Viejo en el segundo libro de su Historia natural1​ podría haber sido su referencia básica. En las cartas de navegación se representa por treinta y dos rombos (deformados) unidos por un extremo mientras que el otro señala el rumbo sobre el círculo del horizonte. Sobre el todo se sitúa la flor de lis con la que se suele representar el norte. Ese símbolo se documenta a partir del siglo XV. La Organización del Tratado del Atlántico Norte, conocida por sus siglas OTAN, tiene a la rosa de los vientos como principal insignia.
