Brela is a community in the Split-Dalmatia County, a well
known touristic destination, about 45 km south of Split along the coast, as the
"pearl of the Makarska riviera". Population about
1,700, most of them in the town of the same name (previously
called Donja Brela, since 1994 changed simple to Brela) and about
150 in the old village Gornja Brela in the Biokovo mountain
steeply raising above the sea. According to Wikipedia: "In
2003 American magazine Forbes put this beach on the list of 10
world's most beautiful beaches, where it's ranked 6th in the
world and 1st in Europe".
The coat of arms of Brela is: azure two trees
vert trunked proper issuant from a single rock argent. The coat
of arms depicts the, so called, Brela Rock that is raising in the
sea infront of the town. (see: photo).
The flag is blue with the yellow bordered coat of arms in the
middle.
The ceremonial flag (to be confirmed for some
details) is blue gonfalon with the coat of arms in the middle,
the name of the community above and two pine branches below.
