Žilina flag

submitted through Rob Raeside, 10 Aug 1999

Žilina is in northwest Slovakia with 87.000 inhabitants. The town originated at the beginning of the 13th century at the crossing of five important trade routes and immediately after its foundation was given the rights of a royal free town. It lost its privileges as a free, royal town, by rebelling against the emperor. A considerable part of its people joined the Slovak National Uprising. It is now the political, economic and cultural center of North Slovakia.

Žilina Coat of Arms

from http://www.tatrahome.sk/revue/erby/ . (!Link does not work any more!)

The Coat of Arms of Stetten (Aargau, Switzerland) is very simillar to Žilina! It is Gules a Double - cross argent with roots (or rather "fitchée") between in chief two Mullets Argent. And the text says that mentioned village belonged until 19th century to the Hospital in Baden, founded by Agnes of Hungary! Compare Ralf Hartemink's site.
