Croatian Civic Heraldry

ČAZMA

Origin/meaning:
The coat of arms is of modern design and shows in a red shield on a green mount a white church with two blue roofed bell-towers between ruined yellow embattled walls and in base a blue wavy line.
The wavy line represents the river Česma (which is only a variations of the city name). The parish church of St. Mary Magdalene is a romanic church with gothic elements, being the bigest romanic based church in Croatia, baroquised in 18th cnetury. In 13^th century the place received the marketplace rights. In the 16^th century Čazma was conquered by Turks and was made capital of a sanjak (soon moved to Pakrac). The town was liberated in the 17^th century and refortified. The fortifications seen on the arms are no longer visible today.
