Croatian Civic Heraldry

KARLOVAC

Origin/meaning:
The coat of arms was granted by King Joseph II on 8th October 1781. The first quarter shows the arms of Croatia, the second two anchors, symbol of the harbour, and the third contains a landscape showing the fortified city of Karlovac on a green hill between two silver conjoining rivers Kupa and Korana, in the chief are the sun and moon. The escutcheon shows the monogram of King Joseph II. The mermaid supporters are again a symbol of the harbour.
