The municipality of Llubí ((2,206 inhabitants in 2017, 3,490 ha; municipal website) is located 50 km north-east of Palma de Mallorca.
Llubí was part of the Muslim district of Muruh, which also included the
present-day's municipalities of Muro, Santa Margalida and Maria de la
Salut. After the conquest of Majorca by James I in 1229, the district
was granted to Ponç Hug, Count of Empúries, who transferred Llubí to
Bernat Descoll, Abbot of San Feliu de Guixols.
The place, renamed Castell Llubí, was eventually separated from Muro in
1836.

The flag (photo) and the modified coat of arms of Llubí, approved on 20 June 2005 by the Municipal Council, are prescribed by a Resolution adopted on 7 May 2008 by the Majorca
Insular Council, promulgated on 3 June 2008 and published on 1 July 2008
in the Spanish official gazette, No. 158, p. 29,099 (text).
The symbols are not described in the Resolution.
The symbols were designed by the On Accent agency (Antónia Calafat and
Miquel Bordoy), based on the memoir redacted by the Majorca Academy of
Genealogical, Heraldic and Historical Studies, the technical support of
the historian Antoni Mas, and study of heraldic symbolic.
The flag is yellow with four horizontal red stripes and the municipal
coat of arms in the center.
The coat of arms is "Lozengy, Or in chief a fortification with three
towers surmounted by three banners in base a wolf all gules".
The coat of arms is based on earlier seals featuring a shield charged with a castle and a wolf The former, colored version of the arms was a French shield, "Per fess, 1. Azure a tower argent masoned sable, 2. Or a wolf courant gules".
The arms form a rebus of the earlier name of the place, lit. the Wolf's
Castle.
