Cadavica (C<ad|avica) is a community in the Virovitica and
Podravina County some 30 km southeast of Virovitica.
Population around 3,000, some 800 in the village of the town
name. The coat of arms is shown on the County web site at
<www.viroviticko-podravska-zupanija.hr>
that also explains that Cadavica was in 1852 granted
the marketplace rights. The coat of arms may have been granted at

scythe in saltire all argent and in base a ploughshare or.

Coat of Arms
by Željko Heimer, 17 April 2005
The coat of arms is divided per fess with a bar argent chief
azure a mullet argent and base vert a ploughshare or. I
guess that this coat of arms may have had a history reaching late
19th century (since the style is of the coat of arms granted to
villages in the period in Croatia and Hungary), but it is not
among such examples included in the legendary Coffy Haague album
issued in 1930's [lsv39]
The flag was light blue with the coat of arms in the middle.
