The municipality of Palilula has about 180000 inhabitants; it is the
largest municipality (447 sq.km) of the town of Belgrade.
In Ottoman times it was forbidden to smoke inside the city walls of Belgrade. Smokers had
to go outside walls to smoke tobacco, to the place now called
Palilula. The Serbian verb paliti means "to set fire" while lula means "pipe".

On 7 June 2006, the Municipal Council of Palilula adopted the Decision on the use of symbols: coat of arms (lesser, middle, greater) and flag. The square shape of the flag is usual for Serbian municipalities.

Lesser coat of arms of Palilula - Image by Milan Heldrih, 30 April 2005
The flag is a banner of the lesser arms. The flag contains a golden pipe on a red field, the golden silhouette of St. Mark church (one of Belgrade's landmarks) on a blue field, and a stylized golden tent with a key and inscription "1830" on a white field. This year recalls Miloš Obrenović receiving Sultan's Hatisherif, an act which proclaimed Serbia as a Principality with some autonomy from the Ottoman rule. That happened in Taš Majdan, a place located in the municipal territory of Palilula.
