ALCALÁ LA REAL
Region : Andalucía
Province : Jaén
Official blazon
En campo de gules, una llave de oro puesta en palo, con el ojo mirando al jefe. Bordura general con ocho piezas que cargan alternantes las reales armas de Castilla y León, que son: En campo de gules, un castillo de oro, almenado de tres almenas, mazonado de sable y aclarado de azur; y en campo de plata, un león rampante de gules, coronado de oro, lampasado y armado de lo mismo. Contorno hispano-francés, que debería adoptar el español, según la vigente normativa, y timbre de corona real cerrada.
Origin/meaning
The key in the arms indicates that the town was on a very strategical position between the Christian kingdom of Castilla and the Moorish kingdom of Granada. The city hence was the key to the conquest of the Moorish kingdom by the Castillian kings.
The bordure was granted to the city by King Alfonso XI of Castilla y Leon, and shows the canting castles of Castille and lions of Leon.
