ALMĂJ

District/county (județ) : Dolj

Official blazon

Un scut triunghiular cu marginile rotunjite, tăiat. În partea superioară, în câmp albastru, se află două spade încrucișate cu vârful în jos, de argint, înconjurate de patru ghinde de aur. În vârful scutului, în câmp argintiu, se află un copac verde dezrădăcinat cu zece mere roșii. Scutul este timbrat de o coroană murală de argint cu un turn crenelat.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on March 1, 2018.

The two swords attest to the archaeological discoveries dating from the third century BC. Acorns represent the deciduous forests in the area, and their number indicates the number of component villages of the commune.

The apple is canting for the name of the commune, which comes from the word "alma" (apple), "almas" (apple orchard).

The mural crown with a crenellated tower means that the locality has the rank of commune.
