In the oldest seal of the city, dating from the first half of the 14th century, a man's head on a helmet is seen. On a second seal from 1340 it seems to be a Moor's head, and the present arms are based on this seal. It was used until the 18th century, when it was replaced by a single head, without the helmet.
