Flag of Antalya

The flag of Antalya is white with the emblem of the city. The emblem is composed of a small "a" letter for Antalya with sun rays and an orange figure in the center. The figure also looks like a tree (may be a palm).
I don't have an official explanation of the figures on the emblem but these are what people living there told me.
