Symbols of Kraków

The coat of arms displays a red brick wall with three towers in a blue field.

Inside the gate there is the White Eagle with a golden crown, beak and talons.

The escutcheon has a typically Renaissance shape and is topped with a golden Crown of Bolesław I the Brave with fleurs-de-lis, closed with a globus cruciger (an orb with a cross).

The coat of arms with the brick wall, the three towers, the open gate and the eagle dates back to the 16th century.

The flag consists of two horizontal stripes of equal width, the top one white and the bottom one blue.

It is almost identical with the civil flag of San Marino, the only difference being the shade of blue.

The banner consists of a white saltire in a blue field with the coat of arms superimposed in the center.

Hejnał mariacki, the famous trumpet call made every hour from the taller tower of St Mary's Church, may be considered an audible symbol of Kraków.
