SANTIAGO DO ESCOURAL
Municipality : Montemor-o-Novo
District : Évora
Official blazon
Escudo de prata, com um canto negro carregado com a silhueta de uma cabeça de cavalo, de ouro, o canto entre dois sobreiros arrancados de verde e descortiçados de vermelho; em chefe, uma vieira de vermelho. Coroa mural de prata de quatro torres. Listel branco, com a legenda a negro : “ SANTIAGO DO ESCOURAL “.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on August 25, 2001.
The arms show in the chief a scallop, symbol of St. James (Santiago), the local patron saint. The two cork oaks are a symbol for the cork production, but also for the famous pigs of the region. The pigs feed mainly on the acorns.
The horsehead in the point symbolises the ancient rock paintings of, for example, horses in the caves in the parish.
