Arms of Palanga - Palanga

Arms of Palanga

Altough Palanga is one of Lithuania's oldest settlements, it only became a city in 1952.
The emblem was designed in 1970 and is based on the historical amber trade in the city.

The emblem showes a chain of amber under a crown, referring to the legend of the amber palace of Princess Jurate.
She fell in love with a local fisherman, which angered Perkunas, god of heaven and earth. He thus destroyed the amber palace and all what was left of it were pieces of amber, which could be found on the shore.
