Most Coat of Arms

from this website, reported by Dov Gutterman, 25 January 1999.

City emblem is used according to the ancient silver seal from the time around 1400. On a blue coat-of-arms there is an ashlar-built silver bridge of three high-vaulted arches, equipped with fourteen crenels. The bridge pillars grow from the lower edge of the coat-of-arms. Two silver ashlar towers visible from two sides stand on the bridge, each with a ground floor gate on the left, a first floor window on the front side above the gate and two windows on the side walls. Each tower has got a battlement with three crenels on each side and a red a-shaped roof with a gold bunch-of-grapes-like cupola. A rising silver rightwards-turned erected double-tailed lion with a red tongue and a gold crown on the head stands on the bridge in between the towers. A six-pointed gold star is flying above the lion's head. On the imprint the both sides are reverse ! The city emblem is a talking sign, it means that the picture of the bridge expresses the city name.
