Flag with the coat of arms of the Contrada della Tartuca, the turtle symbolizes the motto "Strength and Endurance", format 75 x 75 cm. The motif belongs to the Palio di Siena. One of the toughest horse races in the world takes place on the Piazza del Campo over two days every year. The participants come from the 17 city districts and each represent a traditional craft (in the case of the turtle it is the sculptors). Other heraldic animals include the unicorn, owl, dragon, porcupine and she-wolf, but also giraffe and snail.
