The coat of arms of Pula depicts a yellow Latin cross on top of a green background. It also has a ceremonial version consisting of the same design on a special Renaissance escutcheon with a lily shape on the top. The banner of arms was adopted as the flag of the city.[1] It is a variation of the historical coat of arms used since the 19th century, but the current version was only adopted on November 12th 1993 during the Croatian War of Independence. The simplicity and usage of a cross is very common for a coat of arms of a city in Istria, however, the tinctures chosen, vert and or, make it unique.[2]
History
[edit]
Pula's first recorded arms were the arms of the Pola noble family, which governed the city from 1271 until 1331, when the Republic of Venice took over Pula. France and the Habsburg empire dissolved Venice in 1797, which includes Pula. Pula became part of the Habsburg monarchy, but then the French took it over. In October 1807, an oval shield with a cross stretching to the borders of the shield was adopted during French administration. It is widely believed that this is where the green-yellow colour scheme got used first. Austria-Hungary conquered Pula again, and it became part of the new Kingdom of Illyria. The coat of arms that uses the green-gold colour scheme was finally confirmed in 1846 with a mural crown crest. After the First World War, Austria-Hungary dissolved and Pula was ceded to Italy. During Italian administration, the coat of arms kept the mural crown and had branch supporters tied with a blue ribbon.[3] The mural crown was replaced with a crown with nine pearls form 1941 until 1947. After the Second World War, Yugoslavia's monarchy was abolished and replaced by a new communist government, of which Pula was ceded to in 1947. Pula stopped using the historical coat of arms and adopted a new coat of arms in c. 1959 depicting a blue field on a French escutcheon surrounded by white rope, with a white display of the Pula arena in the middle, in front of which is a golden bow of a cargo ship in construction on the sea, a golden construction crane to its left and a communist red star in the right corner. A new coat of arms was adopted in c. 1969. This new coat of arms symbolizes the coast of the city, with white and blue wavy lines in the base of the escutcheon, and it again incorporates the Pula arena and communist symbolism, in the form of a red star. Once Yugoslavia collapsed, Croatia declared independence and abolished communism, Pula adopted a new flag and coat of arms in 1992, however these are unknown. Pula changed back its coat of arms to the gold cross on a green background design on 12 November 1993, which it still has today.[2][4]
Blazon
[edit]The blazon of the coat of arms is Vert a Latin cross Or throughout. Many historical versions of the coat of arms use a regular cross, making the blazon Vert a cross Or. The blazon of the communist-style coat of arms that was abolished in 1990 is:
Azure a base barry wavy Argent and of the first a Roman amphitheatre of the second a mullet of five points gules in sinister chief.
The blazon of the coat of arms of the Pola family is Bendy gules and Argent.[note 1]
Design

The coat of arms consists of a green shield with a gold cross on it. The arms of the cross stretch to the borders of the shield. The proportions of the shield are 5:6, with the arms of the cross being 1 unit wide and the horizontal arm being placed 2 units from the top border of the shield. The ceremonial coat of arms uses a special Reneissance escutcheon with a pointed bottom, the center of the top edge, with the corners of the shield also being pointed. It is bordered and ornamented at the top with side curls and a fleur-de-lis shape connected to the cross and a white ribbon.[2]

The flag of Pula is a banner of arms of the coat of arms of Pula. While the coat of arms depicts a proper Latin cross, the flag has the design of the coat of arms rotated 90° to the left, making it a Nordic cross. Along with the coat of arms, it was granted on November 12th 1993.[1] The design is unique compared to other Croatian city and muncipality flags, as most of them use a solid colour (usually blue) with the coat of arms of the city.[2]

The Julian March, which includes Pula, got ceded to Italy in 1918. Pula adopted a flag very similar to the one today in 1923, except it had a centered cross, similar to that of England's. The centered cross flag got abolished in 1947, when Pula was ceded to Yugoslavia.[3] Along with the coat of arms, the flag had communist symbolism during the SFRY period. The flag that was adopted in c. 1969 and abolished in 1990 depicted a blue background with the communist-style coat of arms.[4]
Design
[edit]The aspect ratio of the flag is 1:2 (5:10). The arms of the cross are touching the edges of the flag, and they are all 1 unit wide. The vertical arm is placed 3 units away from the hoist of the flag. The horizontal beam is placed 2 units away from the top and bottom of the flag. The flag also has a vertical variant, which is roughly the same except it is rotated 90° to the right.[2]
