Pula (Pola, all these units have official names in Italian
too) has vert a cross or shield of "nordic" type, the
flag being banner-of-arms similar to discoloured Swedish flag.
This is in opposition to the regulations that the flag should be
of one colour with CoA in the middle.I do not know what is
official status of that flag regarding to these regulations, but
it is most certainly extensivly used in the city (including
public buildings and local administration). After World War II
the coat of arms of Pula with the cross was abandoned, and in its
place it was used a blue shield with a white representation of
the Arena of Pula. There are no data on a flag used in the
preiod. In mid-1990's the historical arms of Pula was
reintroduced.
