The Community of Kaptol is in the Požega and Slavonia
County some 10 km due north of Pozega
on the southern slopes of the Papuk mountains. 3,500 inhabitants,
some 1,300 in the main town. As the name suggest this was in
medieval times a seat of church authorities, renewed after the
liberation from Turks in 18th century. Even if small the place
has still a certain urban character entirely different from the
typicial Slavonian villages.
The Coat of Arms is shown on the County web site <www.pszupanija.hr> as
well as on the community site <www.opcina-kaptol.hr>.
No flag info for the time being. The Coat of Arms is gules an
epicopal staff or between a key also or wards to the chief dexter
and a sword erect argent hilted and pommed or. The church in
Kaptol is dedicated to St. Peter, so they charges refer to the
Saint and the former bishopric.

bordered coat of arms in the middle.

The community of Kaptol in the Požega-Slavonia County
should not be confused with the former municipality of Kaptol of Zagreb.
The community of Kaptol web site was moved to <opcina-kaptol.com>
where it now incudes the new 2009 Statutes in the local official
gazette: Statut
Opcine Kaptol, 26.06.2009, Službeni glasnik Opcine
Kaptol, br. 3/2009, 24.11.2009.
The articles 5 and 6 describe the Coat of Arms and the flag. The
Coat of Arms is "in semicircular shield, in red field a
golden key, a bishop's staff and a sword", while the flag is
"monocoloured, red in width to length ratio 1:2. In the
centre of it at the crossing point of the diagonals, on both
sides is set the coat of arms bordered with golden/yellow
ribbon."
This Statutes supersedes the 2001 Statutes, which, if I am
correct that the symbols were adopted only afterwards, could not
include this description.
