Flag Description: The flag consists of a broad horizontal white field, bordered at the top and bottom by narrower blue stripes. In the center of the white field is the municipal coat of arms. The shield features a blue field with a green base supporting a nest with a silver (white) pelican feeding its three chicks with its blood. The shield is surmounted by a golden coronet.

The pelican in its piety, feeding its young with its own blood, is a traditional heraldic symbol of self-sacrifice, devotion, and Christian charity. The golden coronet above the shield recalls the town's historical rights and self-governing status.
