Overview

Cabar (C<abar) is a city with somewhat more then 5000 inhabitants some 30 km. due north of Rijeka in Gorski Kotar on the border with Slovenia (around the point where Croatia forms a wedge into Slovenia north of Rijeka).
The coat of arms is: Vert a bar argent in chief a fortified city of the same and in base a buck's head erased or.
The flag is unknown to me. Both must have been adopted around 1995.
