SARILHOS PEQUENOS
Municipality : Moita
District : Setúbal
Official blazon
Escudo de prata, barco varino preto, mastreado e vestido de branco, vogando sobre campanha diminuta ondeada de verde. Coroa mural de prata de quatro torres. Âncora preta centrada. Listel branco, com a legenda a negro, em maiúsculas: Freguesia de Sarilhos Pequenos.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted in 1998.
The type of vessel represented is called a "varino", used in old times for the transportation of goods (such as vegetables, fruits, fish, and salt) from Sarilhos Pequenos, located on the south margin of the Tagus River, to Lisbon.
The anchor is a reminder of the town's tradition in ship building and ship repairing, an activity still ongoing today in the town's shipyard "Estaleiro Naval de Sarilhos Pequenos".
