The coat of arms is "Azure the chief vert fimbriated argent and overall a pallet in dexter", or "Quartered by a thin cross argent offset to top dexter, the top quarters vert the bottom quarters azure".
The green and blue fields are said to represent "Istria, where Mediterranean and continental climate are intermingling". The cross is said to stand for "the symbol of numerous churches and chapels and of the crossing of certain geo-climatic conditions, the natural characteristics of the municipality, uniting the rural and cultural historical characters of the region".
