SEVILLA
Region : Andalucía
Province : Sevilla
Official blazon
En campo de plata, sobre estrado de gules, sentado en un trono, de oro, y surmontado de un baldaquín, de púrpura, un rey vestido de púrpura y manto de armiño, coronado de oro, con una espada en la diestra y un mundo en la siniestra, acompañado de dos obispos vestidos, de plata y oro, con mitra y báculo, de oro. En punta el monograma "NO8DO" de oro.
Origin/meaning
Sevilla was in the Arab times the capital of the Abbasides. It was conquered by Ferdinand III of Castille-Leon in 1248. The arms show Ferdinand. The letters "NO DO" stand besides what looks like an 8, but is a 'madeja'. Madeja is the Spanish word for a skein of yarn; what looks like an 8 on its side is a picture of a skein. The motto is a pun: NOMADEJADO sounds like No me ha dejado, which means "She has not abandoned me." The motto was given by Alfonso X, because, during a rebellion, Sevilla was the only important city that remained loyal the king.
