Coat of Arms in the Market Square
The Coat of Arms of Augustów in the Market Square. The red color of the shield symbolizes power, while the mitre of the Grand Duke of Lithuania, topped with a golden cross, refers to Sigismund Augustus, who was also the ruler of Lithuania. The coat of arms serves as a reminder that Augustów lies on the border of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania. The letters S and A represent the monogram of Sigismund II Augustus, while the smaller P and R stand for Poloniae Rex (King of Poland). This coat of arms not only decorates the city but also evokes its rich history and traditions.
