Buzet is a city in the Istria County, 20 km north of Pazin, in the region of Istria furthest
from the sea coast. Population 6,500, but only about 500 living
in the city itself, the largest settlement being Funtana in the
valley below Buzet. The distance from sea means also distance
from the Italian influence, so the Italian name of the city is
but rarely used: Pinguente. The information on Buzet is
from the city official web site at <www.buzet.hr> and many other
sources showing the same "Coat of Arms". The emblem
used as the coat of arms of Buzet pictures the city gates and a
well within a cartouche including the oak and vine ornaments. I
believe it must have been adopted in 1980's. As the photo
of the the city assembly building on the mentioned web site
showes the emblem is set in the middle of a red flag. If this is
done after some decision or entirely unofficially, it is yet to
be seen.
