 The addition of this flag commemorates both the importance of the city in the revolution, and the death toll suffered by the city during the events, for which it has been proclaimed by law a martyr city.In the bottom part of the shield lies the image of the medieval city, including the walls and the castle, next to the Bega canal.Above the city are an anthropomorphic Sun and a crescent Moon, a common symbolism in Romania and especially in Transylvania and Banat.
