Symbols

The goat and the vine were attributes of the goddess Venus (which means the fertility of nature), from whom Julia (according to a legend quoted by Wincenty Kadłubek), the founder of the city, originated. The goat is also a symbol of love and Christ. The red background symbolizes strength and power.

History

The oldest image of the Lublin coat of arms comes from a document dated 1401 with the seal of the Lublin City Council. The document itself probably dates back to the 14th century.
