Sveti Martin na Muri is the northermost community in the
Medjimurje County (so as well the northernmost in Croatia), few
kilometers east of Mursko Središce and some 20 km north of
Cakovec. There are almost 3,000 inhabitants in the community,
though the main settlement Sv. Martin n/M. has hardly over 500
inhabitants.
The info on the flag adopted is from the local newspapers
available on-line and the local sites: "Sveti Marin na
Muri", Medimurske novine, br. 334, 30.01.2002, <www.mnovine.hr>. "Sveti
Marin na Muri: Ulice dobivaju nazive", Medimurske novine,
br. 350, 22.05.2002, <www.mnovine.hr>.

The coat of arms of Sv. Martin n/M. is gules a goose argent
beaked and membered or carrying in beak a buch of grapes also or
leaved vert and in base a bar wavy argent. The wavy line no doubt
represents the Mura river, while the other charges stand for the
traditional products of the community.
The flag is burgundy red with the coat of arms in the middle
bordered yellow. (It may well be that the officially the flag
colour is described simply as red, however, the photos seems to
show all the distinctly different field colour then the clear
bright red used in the coat of arms).
The ceremonial flag is also burgundy red with the coat of arms in
the middle, the name of the community above and linden and vine
branches below, ending triangularry with finge. Good photos of it
could be found on the links mentioned above.
The articles do not mention the designer, though it seems fairly
safe to suppose that it was the Heraldik art d.o.o from Rijeka.
The symbols were adopted around April 2002.
