AFIFE

Official blazon
Escudo de vermelho, pano de muralha de ouro, lavrado e aberto de negro, movente de uma campanha ondada de seis tiras, a primeira de azul e as restantes de prata e verde; faixa alçada de negro, perfilada de prata e adamascada de rosas de prata. Coroa mural de prata de três torres. Listel branco com a legenda a negro, em maiúsculas : “ AFIFE “.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on December 21, 1999.
The chief shows a mural decoration, for which the local craftsmen were famous since the 18th century. The round fortress symbolises the many castles and fortresses in the region.
The wavy base symbolises the Afife river and the Atlantic Ocean, which have been of great importance for fishing in the past and tourism at present.
