The flag represents a white rectangular cloth (1m x 2m), having on the middle a yellow (golden) girdle with torsade, consisting of three thread, over which lies, on the center of cloth, the coat of arms of the city. The white part of the flag symbolizes the "fortress" space, and the torsade girdle, the element borrowed from the architectural monument ornamentation - the time the city evolves and develops the ”fortress”: present, past and future, as well as the Trinity.
