Emblems of Pavia

Pavia has many emblems that represent it. These emblems are all created by the Bureau of Semiography, at the direction of the Crown Prince.

State emblems

There are two state emblems, the flag and coat of arms.

The coat of arms changes to match that of the reigning Crown Prince.

The flag has white and turquoise stripes with the coat of arms in the middle.

The motto of Pavia is immutabilis, aeternalis, immobilis, which means unchangeable, eternal, immovable.

The national anthem of Pavia is Oh Pavia Parva, the greatest of all.

Ducal emblems

Each duke is entitled to a flag and a coat of arms.
