Coat of Arms

Solin is a city just due north of Split in the Split-Dalmatia
County. It was the older city in Roman times from which Split
eventually evolved after its destruction (in 6th century?). Like
the neigbouring Split, Solin also uses an unheraldical emblem
that they insist on calling the coat of arms, however the
Ministry objects to it.
The emblem consists of a light blue oveal shield including the
name of the city, a rising sun, a cross , a construction sheme of
the Church and the Croatian chequy fields.
Until 1993 the "Greater Split" was composed of the Split proper, Solin and Kaštela, making the so called the
Civic Assembly of Communities Split, shareing some buissnes,
while each of the three was retaining the basic local authonomy.
The emblem might be from that period (though the cross would then
not have been included, and probably there was a star in its
place...).
No flag, as far as I am aware.
