Official blazon
Escudo de ouro, forcão de vermelho, encimando um encontro de touro de negro, armado de prata. Coroa mural de prata de três torres. Listel branco com a legenda a negro, em maiúsculas : “ FORCALHOS - SABUGAL “.
Origin/meaning :
The arms were officially granted on December 21, 2000.
The arms refer to the local tradition of bullfighting. The upper half shows a canting forcão, a wooden structure used in the bullfights to keep the bull in the filed. It is generally made of oak and up to 30 m are needed to lift and move it.
