Coat of arms of Sinj - Image by Željko Heimer, 27 August 2009
The coat of arms is "Azure a horseman on a running horse holding a spear in his right and a circular shield ensigned with an alka in his left all argent and in chief a crown or".
The horseman is an alkar in traditional garment - participant in traditional knightly games played in Sinj for almost 300 years - since 1715, in memory of the victory of 700 soldiers from Sinj over 60,000 Turks. The alka is a double concentric ring that is to be pierced with the spear by the horseman.
