Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on January 23, 1998.
The arms are canting: the red cross with twelve golden acorns, comes from the coat of arms of the noble Portuguese family of Bulhoes, whose most distinguished member was St. Anthony of Lisbon (also known as of Padua) patron saint of the city and the pine trees (Araucaria angustifolia) alludes to the great quantity of those trees found everywhere near the city; the three fountains represent the many fountains of mineral water and to the sources of many brooks and the base indented symbolize the mountainous ground where the city stands.
The supporters show that vegetables, such as tomatoes are important agricultural products of the region and that in the well protected woodlands which surrounds the city there are endless numbers of wildflowers, especially a great variety of orchids.
The shield is surmounted by a mural crown appropriate to a city and a scroll below the shield bears the name of the city.
