The FAME is a site devoted to the systematic and scientific study of flags and coats of arms. Such symbols often bear strong political and other messages. Inclusion of those symbols here does not mean that the author supports or approves of the ideas they may stand for.		 [NSK - Digital Archives] This site is harvested for the NSK digital archives.

Istarska županija

Legal notice: The counties, cities and communities in the Republic of Croatia by their decision on adoption and use of the coats of arms and flags limit the use of these symbols only after obtaining an explicit written permission. However, most of the units of local government and self-government by the same decisions explicitly allow the free use of the symbols in the educational and scientific purposes and in the artistic creation, under condition that such use does not offend the dignity and honour of the local unit. The author of these pages considers that the depiction of the coats of arms and the flags here meets the conditions of free use in that sense.

The goat was a symbols of Istria even in ancient Roman times, and the traditional coat of arms of Istria as margraviate of the Habsburg crown is Azure, on triple Mount Vert a Goat passant Or attired and hoofed Gules. The modern the County had long pondering on adoption of the new coat of arms each small element having a particular deep meaning. Finally the design made by Austrian heraldrist K. Lind from 1885 was adopted: Azure a (He-)Goat or horned and hoofed Gules. The flag is horisontal bicolour of blue over green with the coat of arms in the middle.

The originally adopted design had the crown with oak and olive branches above the shield. The vertical ceremonial version included the inscription with county name in two languages.
