Origin/meaning
The arms are derived from the oldest known seal of the city, known since 1289, but probably dating from the early 13th century. The arms show a city wall and a stylised church, symbolising the city and cathedral. The head on the platter is the symbol of St. John Baptist, patron saint of the city.
