In front of the Visaginas municipal administration building stands an impressive stele with a flying bird, symbolizing the spirit of the city. This is the first symbol of Visaginas, highlighting the city’s uniqueness and history. Visaginas, which thrived before the closure of the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant (IAE), was closely connected with one of the most powerful nuclear power plants in the world. The crane depicted in the city’s coat of arms symbolizes caution and vigilance in heraldry and serves as the city’s guardian. The symbolism of the crane reflects Visaginas’s commitment to safety and vigilance for the benefit of its community.
