Flag of Bolu

The flag of Bolu (photo) is white with the municipality's emblem in the middle. "Belediye Başkanlığı" means "Municipality Presidency".

The emblem of the municipality features the Koroghlu Monument (photo).
Koroghlu is the eponymic hero of an heroic legend prominent in the oral traditions of the Turkic peoples. In the Turkish version, the hero, Köroğlu (lit. "the son of the blind man") struggles for justice and honour against the unfair bey of Bolu. Helped by the mare Kirat, Köroğlu is a bandit-ministrel, who plays saz (a long-necked lute) and challenges his opponent with poems and songs. After the introduction of guns by merchants has transformed the struggle into endless warfare, Köroğlu eventually admits that the old, chivalric world has gone forever, gives up the fight, and disappears.
An English rendition of the Epic of Koroghlu can be read in The Art of the Turkish Tale (Vol. 1, 1990), by Barbara K. Walker.
