Origin/meaning

The oldest arms of Prešov date from the early 15th century and showed a strawberry. The strawberry was canting for the Hungarian name of the city Eperjes (eper=strawberry). When the Hungarian elite decreased the city adopted new arms with three roses. The present arms were granted on January 4, 1453 and haven't changed since.
