Last weekend I spent in Poreč, a well known city in Istria,
being one of the most important tourist resorts there. The flag
of Poreč is vertically hoisted, vertically divided red and white
bicolour. In the middle, offset to top (say 1/3 of fly length
from hoist) is set the coat of arms. The coat of arms is per pale
Argent and Gules, surrounded by a laurel branch on dexter and an
oak branch on sinister, both sable, leaved green and fructed
proper. That is, the laurel branch has four red berries, and oak
branch has four golden acorns with brown cups. Flag ratio 1:2.
I have never seen the flag hoisted horizontally, and due to the
way it is designed, I doubt that is is ever done.

I have noted previously the table flags that are of equal
design, but somewhat shorter (2:3~) and with three tails. Those
table flags might easily be "shrunken" replicas of the
ceremonial flag.
