Symbols of Santisteban del Puerto

The Municipality of Santisteban del Puerto in the Province of Jaen, Andalucia, has its own symbols, approved by the General Directorate of Local Administration on 17.05.2022.

Coat of arms:

Description: “On a red field, a gold castle, crenellated and with a three-towered keep, masoned in black and with blue windows. Surmounted by two steel keys intertwined at their ends, with paddles facing outwards. Crested with the closed Spanish royal crown.”
In the coat of arms that the City Council actually uses, the castle is not masoned and the opening is sable, as are the keys.
Meaning: It dates back at least to the 16th century, although in 1282 the wax seal hanging from the town already featured a castle on one side. The castle probably represents the Kingdom of Castile. The keys represent Santisteban's jurisdiction over Montizón and Torrealver.

Flag:

Description: Flag obverse: “Quadrangular, checkered in three enamels: gules, gold and silver, distributed in 100 checks, 10 on each side.
Superimposed on the vexil and in the center, a circular emblem in gules with a gold castle surmounted by the two steel keys, all in the same position as the shield. Around it, between simple glyphs, the legend: CONCILII SANCTUM STEPHANUM.”
Reverse side of the flag: “Quadrangular, checkered in three enamels: gules, gold and silver, distributed in 100 checks, 10 on each side.
Superimposed on the vexillum and in the center, a circular emblem in gold depicting the martyrdom of Saint Stephen the Protomartyr.”

A more precise description of the flag's shape would be: a square flag with a cross in the center, each arm of which is formed by four rectangles, from the outside in: white, red, yellow, and red, leaving a white square in the center. Each of the spaces left by the cross in the four corners is divided into 16 squares: eight red, five yellow, and three white.

Meaning: This flag (sign or banner) has been preserved in the same form throughout time thanks to the Stewardship of the Virgin of Collado. Alfonso X the Wise granted the town the right to use a seal and flag.
