Overview

Bol is a community in the Split-Dalmatia County, situated in the central souther coast of the Brac island. Population 1,500, almost to the last living in the vilage of the same name. Bol na Bracu is among the most elite tourist resorts on the Adriatic, with the famous protruding sand beach Zlatni rat.
The coat of arms of Bol is Azure on a base vert a lion passant to sinister or and in chief an arm embowed to sinister proper clead or holding a branch vert.
I am not sure about the symbolic meaning of these symbols, however.
The flag is dark blue with the coat of arms bordered yellow in the middle.
