Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on April 8, 2005.

The golden fortified wall underlines the strategic importance of the Anapa fortresses on the Black Sea coast, it also symbolizes the rich history of the current resort town, which emerged as Sind harbour in the 4th century BC

The sun shows 25 rays, for the 25 centuries of recorded history of the town.

The trireme is a symbol for the ancient harbour and trading, but also more in general for the importance of international maritime trade for centuries.

The previous arms were granted on August 29, 1973 .
