Tomislavgrad - Image made according to the CoA from http://www.tomislavgrad.net/,
flag was described to my by a regular visitor of my pages, Marko
Puljic.
The flag is white over red bicolour, probably in ratio 1:2, with
coat of arms in the middle. The coat of arms is: per fess, chief
Gules a Crown Or, base Argent a Church Gules. Shield is bordered
Or, in base surrounded by a wreath of mais and topped by the name
of the city. The crown is, I guess, the same crown which apears
on several Croatian county flags, there refered as the crown of
king Zvonimir. The crown is set here as symbol of the first
Croatian king Tomislav who was crowned in the fields surrounding
the city in year 925. The church is (presumably) the main church
in the city. Tomislavgrad is name of the city reintroduced in
1990's, previously called Duvno. The city was first renamed to
Tomislavgrad in 1920's, during the celebrations of millenium of
Croatian kingdom (it was told that the city was actually named in
honour of the son of the Yugoslav king, prince Tomislav, who is
in turn named after the old Croatian king for the same occasion).
After the WWII the city was again renamed back to Duvno, until
1990's.
Today, Tomislavgrad is one of the three capitals (sic! according
to my last info) of the Herzeg-bosna county (Hercegbosanska
z<upanija), mainly populated by Croats.
