On the top of the hill is a castle which is the traditional symbol fort a city (ville). It is rendered in the precious color of gold (for ´Belle-´). Rising above the castle is a gold cross with fleur-de-lis ends to honor the French missionaries who served the Native Americans of Southern-Illinois.

Above the castle is an arched silver bar, taken from the arms of pope Leo XIII, who erected the diocese of Belleville in 1887.
