Overview

Matulji is a community of some 10 000 inhabitants (quite a few comparing with some other around) less then 10 km west of Rijeka just above the Opatija City. Actually, Matulji is developed as the  railway station for Opatija. The shape in the CoA probably refers to the transportation importance of the site. The coat of arms of Matulji is: Azure a pall argent between three bells or. The flag is blue with the coat of arms in the middle.
