CHAVES

District : Vila Real

Brasão de Chaves

Official blazon

Escudo de azul, ponte de três arcos de prata, movente dos flancos, lavrada de negro, saínte de um contra-chefe ondado de prata e azul; em chefe, escudo de prata carregado de cinco escudetes de azul postos em cruz, carregado cada um de cinco besantes de prata e com uma bordadura de vermelho carregada de sete castelos de ouro, acompanhada de duas chaves de ouro, estando a da dextra volvida em cortesia. Escudo cercado pelo colar da Ordem militar de Torre e Espada do valor, lealdade e mérito. Coroa mural de prata de cinco torres. Listel branco com os dizeres : " CIDADE DE CHAVES ", a negro.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on November 11, 1987.

The water probably denotes the old Latin name of the town, Aqua Flaviae. The name Chaves seems to be derived from Flaviae and means keys, the keys thus are a canting symbol. The small shield shows the Portuguese arms, its significance I don't know.
