[ENG] The image of the wall with three towers as the symbol of Przasnysz appears as the first time on the city seal from 1529. Over time, it became a symbol of the city. The wall itself appears on the coats of arms of many cities in Masovia, including those that have never had city walls in their history. It symbolized the distinctiveness of the bourgeoisie.
