COAT OF ARMS OF LEVOCA

Levoca's coat of arms, probably from the 15th century, consists of the red shield with a double cross on a green triple hill, which is supported by two silver lions with gold crowns on their heads. There is a helmet on the shield with the so called "jewel" on red and white covers, represented by a gold crown and a silver double cross. Next to the double cross, on both sides, there are two mussels , the attrributes of the patron of the town, pictured on several seals, but they are not found in the heraldry charter.
