Coat of arms of Stari Grad

Coat of arms of Stari Grad, two versions - Images by Željko Heimer, 26 June 2009

The Populari database claims that the arms were adopted in 1996.

The coat of arms is "Vert a dome issuant argent and in chief sinister a fleur-de-lis of the same".
Variations of the coloring of the dome can be observed. A dome is characteristic of the traditional architecture of the old town of Sarajevo. I was told that this is the dome of the old market place, but it could also be the dome of the Turkish baths, or some other building.
