Coat of arms of Kapela

Coat of arms of Kapela - Image by Željko Heimer, 4 January 2009

The coat of arms of Kapela (municipal website) is "Quarterly first and fourth gules, second argent a Latin cross sable in bend, and third vert a corn ear or issuant".
The coat of arms is probably unofficial. A variant of these arms was also in use, with the cross being red and set upright in the corner of the field while the field contained the depiction of the local church on a green low hill (image). These arms were used at least yet in 2007, as could be seen on a charter issued by the municipality. I assume that the church was removed after the suggestion from the central authorities, since there are already way to many coats of arms showing churches. Whether this means that the new coat of arms is closer to be approved is still hard to tell.
