Last weekend I spent in Porec, a well known city in Istria,
being one of the most important tourist resourts there. The flag
of Porec is vertically hoisted, vertically divided red and white
bicolour. In the middle, offset to top (say 1/3 of fly lenght
from hoist) is set the coat of arms. The coat of arms is per pale
Argent and Gules, surrounded by a laurel branch on dexter and an
oak branch on sinister, both sable, leaved green and fructed
proper. That is, the laurel branch has four red beries, and oak
brach has four golden acorns with brown cups. Flag ratio 1:2.
I have never seen the flag hoisted horizontally, and due to the
way it is designed, I doubt that is is ever done.

I have noted previously the table flags that are of equal
design, but somewhat shorter (2:3~) and with three tails. Those
table flags might easily be "shrunken" replicas of the
ceremonial flag.
