The City of Pirot uses an emblem in the shape of a shield, whose upper part is rendered as the outline of the Pirot fortress — a stronghold with two towers — and in the centre is the kilim pattern “ploča” with the silhouette of a factory in the background. In Article 5 the municipal statute itself calls the insignia an emblem and prescribes that the symbols of the municipality may be displayed only alongside the state symbols. The emblem stands in the centre of a light blue flag.
