POMBALINHO

Municipality : Santarém
District : Santarém

Pombalinho.gif

Official blazon:
Escudo de verde, uma aspa enxaquetada de vermelho e ouro, acompanhada nos flancos de duas pombas de prata, a da dextra volvida; em chefe, de um cacho de uvas de prata folhado de ouro e em contra-chefe, de uma roca de linho de prata. Coroa mural de prata de três torres. Listel branco com a legenda em maiúsculas de negro : “ POMBALINHO - SANTARÉM “.

Origin/meaning :
The arms were officially granted on June 25, 1996.

The chequered cross is a combination of the symbol of the local patron saint, Santa Cruz, and the arms of the Barons Pombalinho. The cross also refers to a recently discovered Roman road with a distinctive stone pattern.

The green shield, the bunch of grapes and the flax-stick symbolise agriculture and the two main crops in the parish. The two pigeons (pombas) are a canting element.
