Official blazon

Escudo de ouro, gavela de espigas de trigo de verde, atada de vermelho, entre quatro bestas de púrpura, cordoadas e realçadas de prata. Coroa mural de prata de três torres. Listel branco, com a legenda a negro: “ BESTEIROS - PAREDES “.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on October 22, 2002.

The four crossbows (bestas) are a canting element, as the history of the name of the parish has to do with crossbows. The wheat ears refer to the agricultural character and the fertile soil in the parish.
