PADINA (BUZĂU)

District/county (județ) : Buzău

Official blazon

Un scut tăiat de o fascie îngustă de aur. În câmpul superior albastru, pe o terasă verde, o cruce de argint. În câmpul inferior, despicat, în dreapta, pe roșu, o pâine de aur; în stânga, pe verde, floarea-soarelui naturală. Scutul este timbrat de o coroană murală, cu un singur turn crenelat.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on February 6, 2003.

The Curigan Cross, a well-known historical monument in the county, dominates Padina commune and is emblematic for the whole area. Bread and sunflower are images of the wealth of the commune, as well as of the main occupation of its inhabitants, agriculture.

The mural crown, with a single crenellated tower, symbolizes that the locality is common.
