Overview
In the new administrative division of Croatia Djurdjevac
gained the status of a city only in 1997, when, on the celebral
session of the Council in February 1997 the new coat of arms
adopted in March previous year, were presented, presumably after
the approval from the Ministry was gained. A golden peacock on a
cannonball reminds to the legend, according to which the city was
saved from Turkish siege by fireing peacocks instead of
cannonballs. The stars are taken from the Ernust family arms.
Sigismund Ernust, ban (vice-roy) of Dalmatia, Croatia and
Slavonia since 1494 rebuilded the fortress of Djurdjevac to its
present shape. Until 1997 Djurdjevac had status of a community.
Adopted: 1 March 1996.
