OMIŠ

County : Split-Dalmatia

Coat of arms (crest) of Omiš

Official blazon

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted on December 13, 2002.

The arms show a cross and a spiked mace. The arms are known from a stone carving dating from 1541 as well as from a Venetian charter dating from 1579, where the colours are mentioned as well. The meaning of the arms probably is to defend Christianity. A new coat of arms was granted to the city in the end of 19th century by the Austrian Ministry of Interior, showing in blue shield two golden rocks, a lion on the dexter and St. George defeating the dragon on the sinister and in the chief a cross staff and a fleury sceptre in saltire, see below.

Both arms were supressed during the socialist period and the older one was readopted in 1999 and officially in 2002.
