Primošten is a community on the coast of the
Šibenik-Knin County, some 15 km south of Šibenik. Total
population 5,000, some 1,700 in the town of the same name.
Primošten is an old pitoresque little town built over small
illets just of the coast, connected with a single brigde with it
(as the name sates, as "primosten2 wouldmean more or less
"bridged over").
Information I received from Željko Pavasovic, webmaster of
the site <www.primosten.hr>
in 2002. The symbols were adopted in 1999, however I have no
further details.
The Coat of Arms pictures in a blue shield a
statue of the Black Madonna surrounded with seven eight-pointed
golden stars. The stars represent the severn islets on which
Primošten is built.The Black Madonna with the Child is a
statue that alegedly protects Prmošten from various
disasters.
The flag is blue with the yellow bordered coat of arms in the
middle.
The Ceremonial Flag is vertically hoisted
banner with the fly ending triangulary containing the coat of
arms below the name of the community. Under the coat of arms are
fig and olive branches and a bunch of grapes.

Updates from official gazette:
- Odluka o opisu i uporabi grba i zastave Opcine Primošten,
26.10.2000, Službeni vjesnik Šibensko-kninske
županije, br. 9/00, 14.11.2000. - The decision determines
the design and usage of the coat of arms and the flag. The
depiction of the Madonna is named Madonna of Loretto (Gospa
od Loreta) and is stated that it has been revered in these
regions since 18th century and is preserved in the central chruch
of St. George (Sv. Juraj) in Primošte. The ceremonial flag
is not named in the decision but is pictured together with the
coat of arms and the flag in the gazette.
- Rješenje o odobrenju uporabe grba Opcini Primošten,
Ministartsvo pravosuda, uprave i lokalne samouprave, kl.
UP/I-017-02/00-01/4,urbr. 514-09-01-01-3, 30.03.2001,
Službeni vjesnik Šibensko-kninske županije, br.
5/01, 21.05.2001. - The act of the Ministry of Justice,
Administration and Local Self- Government, kl.
UP/I-017-02/00-01/4,urbr. 514-09-01-01-3, approves the decision
of 2000.
The ceremonial flag shown in the gazette is complicated and a
simplified design of the ceremonial flag is used for table flags. The table flag is nowhere
prescribed but it is probably more often seen then the ceremonial
flag that is "locked up" in the assembly hall.
Željko Heimer, 20 August 2006
Coat of Arms and flag were designed by Heraldic Art d.o.o from
Rijeka and approved by the Ministry of Administration/Central
State Office for Administration before 2006.
