Escudo de prata, contra-chefe de faixetas ondadas de azul e prata; saínte do contra-chefe e movente dos flancos um moinho de maré de três mós de vermelho, guarnecido e aberto de prata; em chefe, uma cruz de Santiago, de vermelho, acompanhada de dois molhos de três espigas de trigo, de verde, atadas do mesmo.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on October 17, 1997.

The cross refers to the Order of Santiago, which played a major role in the local history. The wheat-ears refer to the agricultural character of the parish. The base shows the Tagus river with a water mill. There used to be a tidal water mill in the parish, whci was a rather unique type of mill.
