Design

At the center of the flag, displayed is the emblem which consists of the clock tower, regarded as the symbol of the city; beneath the clock tower, a diamond shaped triangle in golden yellow represents wheat crops, to give the impression of a farming town; a distorted letter V that hovers below symbolizes the first anti-communist movement in Albania; the blue background conveys the color of the sea, in reference to Kavajë's coastline.
