LUZ
Municipality : Lagos
District : Faro
Official blazon:
Escudo de azul, dois figos de ouro abertos de vermelho, alinhados em faixa; movente do chefe, sol de ouro em seu esplendor; contra-chefe ondeado de prata e verde, de cinco tiras, tendo brocante peixe de vermelho. Coroa mural de prata de quatro torres. Listel branco, com a legenda a negro : " LUZ - LAGOS ".
Origin/meaning :
The arms were officially granted on December 5, 2002.
The sun is a canting element (Luz=light). The two figs represent agriculture as well as the long inhabitation of the area, as remnants of figs have been found in archaeological excavations. The base shows the Atlantoc Ocean and the importance of fisheries.
The previous arms were granted on February 21, 1997 and differ only in the crown.
