CALAFAT
District/county (județ) : Dolj
Official blazon
Un scut triunghiular cu marginile rotunjite, împărțit în furcă răsturnată. În cartierul unu, pe roșu, un leu rampant de aur, ieșind spre dreapta, armat cu negru. În cartierul doi, pe argint, trei ghiulele negre arzând cu flacără roșie, așezate una la două. În cartierul trei, pe albastru, un caduceu de argint. Scutul este timbrat de o coroană murală de argint, cu cinci turnuri crenelate.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on May 29, 2003.
The lion is the old symbol of Oltenia, present in the interwar heraldic tradition. The bombs are also a traditional heraldic element, alluding to the beginning of the War of Independence in 1877, from Calafat and Corabia starting the first assaults on the Turkish shore.
The caduceus is the symbol of the god of trade, Mercury, and refers to the position of commercial and transit center of the town, which is also a port on the Danube.
The mural crown with five crenellated towers shows that the locality has the status of a municipality.
