shows the Coat of Arms of the community of Tar
Vabriga (Torre-Abrega) in the Istria County, established in 2006
by secession from the city of Porec.
With some 1,500 inhabitants it is situated between Porec and Novigrad
on a beautiful plateau just above the sea with the views on both
cities and the confluence of the Mirna (Queito) river with
beautiful beach . I have no idea of the status of this Coat of
Arms, and the official web
site of he community is still under construction.

Tar-Vabriga is a community in the Istria County, formed in
2006 by secession from Porec. Historically two smaller towns had
grown together forming a single settlement today divided by the
main road, situated between two larger historical cities of Porec
and Novigrad, at the confluence of Mirna into the Adriatic. It is
said that from the top of the belfry of Tar when the weather is
favourable one may spot the belfry of St :mark's church in Venice
across the Adriatic. Today the main income is from tourism,
epscially a beautifuzl resort with the view towards Novigrad and
the confluence. Population about 1,500. As many other communities
in Istria, it is bilingual Croatian-Italian, the Italian name
being Torre - Abrega.
The official
gazette at the official web site of Tar-Vabriga at includes
the decision on the Coat of Arms and the flag: Odluka o grbu i
zastavi Opcine Tar-Vabriga-Torre-Abrega te nacinu i zaštiti
njihove uporabe, 31.07.2009, Službeni glasnik Opcine
Tar-Vabriga-Torre-Abrega, br. 5/2009, 31.07.2009, str. 482-486.
The Coat of Arms is described - in blue on a silver/white wall
dexter a tree and sinister a silver/white tower and issuing from
the chief dexter a golden/yellow sun.
The flag is in ratio 1:2, yellow with the coat of arms in the
centre.
Since the official gazette does not include the drawings of these
symbols, I requested them from the community, and they kindly
provided me with large bitmaps of the Coat of Arms and the flag,
after which I have prepared the drawings.
As we are aware, the pseudo-herladic emblems including the same
symbols as the Coat of Arms adopted in 2009 were used prior to
its adoption, therefore it may well be that they are all in turn
based on some historical Coat of Arms or seal.
