The flag of Ladik (photo, photo, photo) is white with the municipality's emblem. "Belediyesi" means "Municipality".
The emblem features the clock tower (14 m in height), erected in 1906 by
Reşat Akif Paşa (1863-1920), Governor of Sivas (1901-1906), and rebuilt in 1943 in the aftermath of an earthquake.
The emblem's background evokes the Akdağ ski center, located in Ladik,
and Lake Ladik, which is located 10 km east of the downtown.

The monument featured on the emblem's left part is Sunullah Paşa
mausoleum, located in the Bahşi Mahallesi borough of Ladik. There is no
historical record of the monument and its namesake, also known as
Sadullah Paşa. Built in classical Ottoman style, the monument probably
dates back to the second half of the 15th century.
