We performed new observations of the metallic-line star 15 Vul with the echelle spectrograph of the 1-m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory. Based on measurements of the equivalent widths for more than 600 green and yellow-red lines of 24 elements, we redetermined the atmospheric chemical composition of this star. We discuss the results of our iron-abundance determination in the atmosphere of 15 Vul from Fe I and Fe II lines and analyze the effect of choosing lines and of the oscillator strengths used on the determination of lg e(Fe). Using Stenflo-Lindegren's multiline technique, we diagnose a magnetic field at the surface of 15 Vul with a complex structure. The field strength was found from 164 Fe I lines in the wavelength range 4300 to 6700 Angstroms to be fH = 2390 +/- 540 G. An analysis of Fe I lines with various excitation potentials e provides evidence that the magnetic regions on the surface of 15 Vul are cooler than the surrounding quiet photosphere.
