Coat of Arms
The former Coat of Arms of Nysa originates from a seal from 1260, presenting a tower with a gate, with a crosier inside - a symbol of the Bishops of Wrocław; the symbol is no longer found on a seal from 1290. In 1306, the seal presented John the Baptist; a patron of Wrocław Cathedral Church, and the whole Archdiocese of Wrocław. The Saint, holding the Lamb of God, behind a perpendicular, Gothic building (possibly the Nysa Basilica); where by his feet, is the figure of a bishop, with a mitre and a crosier.
