RIJEKA

County : Primorje-Gorski Kotar County

Arms of Rijeka

Official blazon

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted on September 26, 1998.

The arms of the city of Rijeka is basically the same as the coat of arms granted on 6th June 1659 by Croatian king and Austrian emperor Leopold I.

The arms refers to Rijeka (litterary meaning "river") and the short swift water-rich river Rjecina after which the city is named. During the history Rijeka (known also by the Italian name Fiume) had special status in Austria-Hungary, and after the World War it was proclaimed free city.

The arms replaced arms granted on March 26, 1998, which were slightly different and more to the historical original.
