Presentation of Kijevo

The municipality of Kijevo (532 inhabitants in 2001), is located 50 km north-east of Šibenik. The Croats formed a community (župa) in Kijevo as soon as they reached the region, mentioned already in 777, within the Livno County.

The coat of arms is "Azure a ruined church or".
The church is the St. Saviour (Sveti Spas) church, from the 9th century, with the oldest remaining belfry in Croatia, showing the Frankish influence on the christianization of Croats.
The church is described as "yellow-golden" in the 2001 Statutes and as "yellow-green" in the 2006 Statutes.
An almost identical coat of arms ("Gules a ruined church argent"), picturing the same church, is used by the neighbouring municipality of Vrlika.
