Symbols of Jurbarkas, Lithuania From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The flag and coat of arms of Jurbarkas represents Jurbarkas, Lithuania with a red banner charged with three silver-white fleurs-de-lis in the center, two over one.[1][2][3] An example of heraldic flag design, the flag employs the city's coat of arms, making it a banner of arms. The design of the arms of Jurbarkas is believed to originate from the arms of the Sapieha house, a noble family from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania which was responsible for Jurbarkas receiving city rights and the coat of arms in 1611.[4][2]

The three fleurs-de-lis design was abolished during the final years of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, but officially restored in 1993 after the independence of present-day Lithuania. Before restoration, several variant designs, such as using one over two fleurs-de-lis, had been restored and abolished. The original two over one version was briefly readopted in 1970 during the Soviet period, but abolished that same year.[1]
