Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on December 21, 2000.
The arms refer to the local tradition of bullfighting. The upper half shows a canting forcão, a wooden structure used in the bullfights to keep the bull in the filed. It is generally made of oak and up to 30 m are needed to lift and move it.
