Postira is located in the very centre of the Brac island, towards its northern coast. Population is about 1,500. The main industry is, like everywhere else on the Adiatic coast, tourism, but Postira also has the famous canned fish factory Sardina, today mostly exporting tuna to Japan. A traditional craft is stone masonry.

The symbols of Postira are described in the Municipality Statutes Statut Općine Postira, adopted on 13 July 2009 by the Municipality Assembly and published on 17 July 2009 in the Municipality official gazette Slubeni glasnik Općine Postira, No. 3.
The flag (photo) is in proportions 1:2, blue with the coat of arms, bordered yellow, in the middle.

Coat of arms of Postira - Image by Željko Heimer, 11 April 2009
The coat of arms is "Azure on a wavy barruly base azure and argent a three-master sailboat maroon with sails or in front of a fortified town argent on a high rock vert issuant from sinister".
The arms are, probably, based on some historical seal depicting a merchant ship in front of the symbolical representation of the town.
