Overview

On a TV report today I noticed the coat of arms and the flag of Fažana, the community established only in year 2000 . Fažana is in the Istrian County (Italian name Fasana), situated northwest of Pula just outside it - on the coats across the channel from the famous Brijuni Islands resort. Fazana actually includes the Brijuni island group.   The coat of arms is azure an antique amphore or.   Fazana was site of the amphore production and export and no doubt that is the reason for choosing this emblem. The flag is (dark) blue with the coat ofarms bordered golden in the middle.

In the official gazette of the Istrian County (<www.istra-istria.hr>), there is published the decision on the flag and coat of arms of the Community of Fažana (unlike for the other communities who does not seem to publish their decision in the official gazette of Istrian County):   Statutarna odluka o grbu i zastavi Opcine Fažana, 23.02.2004., SNIŽ, br. 003/04, 05.03.2004. str. 99-101. The decision includes nice pictures of the coat of arms and the flag.

The symbols were designed by the Heraldic Art d.o.o. from Rijeka.
