Through the ages, the coat of arms of the municipality has undergone various changes while preserving its principal symbolic elements. The old coat of arms was shaped like a shield in which knightly arms were displayed: a saber and an axe, along with other symbols – the city still keeping its old ties with its manor. Another version of the same coat of arms featured no arms but was characterized instead by equestrian elements, and the third version was a distinct design which is today often regarded as the official coat of arms.
