Presentation of Novigrad

Novigrad, often named Novigrad Zadarski or Novigrad Dalmatinski to differentiate from Novigrad Istarski and Novigrad Podravski, is located 30 km east of Zadar, in a deep bay called Novigrad Sea (Novigradsko more). The town tracks its history back to Roman times.
The modern municipality of Novigrad was established in 1811 by Decree of Bertrand, Governor-General of the Illyrian Provinces in Ljubljana. It started on 1 January 1812, comprising also the nearby villages of Starigrad, Seline, Jasenice, Kruševo, Karin Gornji, Karin Donji, Popovici, Biljane Gornje, Biljane Donje, Smiljčić, Kašić, Islam Latinski, Islam Grčki, Paljuv, Podgradina, Posedarje (since 1813), Slivnica, Vinjerac and Pridraga.

The coat of arms is "Or a cross azure".
Stone carved coats of arms are preserved, but the colors were, seemingly; first introduced in the book Laszowski's book Grbovi Jugoslavije (1930s) [lsv39].
