Levanjska Varoš is a community in the Osijek-Baranja
County, some 50 km south-west of Osjiek,
15 km west of Šakovo, about 1,250
inhabitants, some 350 in the village of the same name, somewhat
over 15% of Serbs. From the Roman times known as Leuconum and in
the Middle Ages as Nevna under the rule of the Czech de Leva
family in 15th century. Rich hunting areas are important for the
local economy even today, while sulphur rich curative springs are
known for a long time. These two characteristics that makes the

515-09-02-09-3, 24.04.2009 as I was informed from a
correspondence with the community. They also kindly sent me
printed drawings of the COA, flag, ceremonial and table flag. The
design seems linke it may be done by the Heraldic Art of Rijeka,
but this is nowhere metioned in the documents I got from the
community.
The coat of arms of is: vert a stag head or afrontee ensigned
with a stone well sprinkling water argent.
The flag is green with the coat of arms bordered yellow in the
centre of it.
The ceremonial flag is a light yellow gonfalon
ending with three triangularly ending tails, with the coat of
arms in the centre of it, the name of the community in an arch
and two lines in green above and green oak ornaments with yellow
oaks in the tails.
A similar table flag is used, green with
triangular fly, yellow border and inscriptions and two oak
branches.
