Lovran is a community of about 4500 inhabitants just south of
Opatija some 10-15 km from Rijeka along the Istrian coast. Lovran
is health tourist resort with long tradition, apparently just as
old as neighbouting Opatija that started the Adriatic tourism in
Austria-Hungary. Opatija and Lovran are connected with a romantic
walking way lungo mare (along the coast).
The coat of arms of Lovran is in an oval shield a white tower on
a green base between two laurel branches proper and blue and
white wavy stripes in base. Lauren branches a canting for Lovran
(Croatian lovor = laurel).
The flag is green with the coat of arms in the middle.
