The oldest known seal of the city dates from 1310 and shows a compicated composition, with crescent, a cross with stars on the points and an eagle. A secret seal of the early 14<sup>th</sup> century only shows the eagle of St. John, the local patron saint. All later seals showed this composition, with later additions of the motto S. Iohannes. | The oldest known seal of the city dates from 1310 and shows a compicated composition, with crescent, a cross with stars on the points and an eagle.
