RIACHOS
Municipality : Torres Novas
District : Santarém
Official blazon:
Escudo de prata, aspa de coticas ondadas de azul, acompanhada em chefe de uma cruz solta de vermelho, maçanetada de doze bolotas de ouro com os casculhos de verde (cruz de Santo António), nos flancos de duas chavelhas de ouro e em contrachefe de três ramos de oliveira de verde, frutados de negro e atados de vermelho. Coroa mural de prata de quatro torres. Listel branco, com a legenda a negro: “ VILA DE RIACHOS “.
Origin/meaning :
The arms were officially granted on November 3, 1993.
The acorn-tipped cross refers to the local patron saint, St. Anthony. The two symbols (I have no meaning) refer to the local cattle breeding, whereas the olive branch refers to the cultivation of olives. The wavy saltire refers to the Almonda river.
