Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on February 8, 1966.
The arms show the symbols of St. Mary, one of the patron saints of the city, the fleur-de-lys and the monogramme. The letter can also be seen as a letter A, for the Swedish name Åbo.
The composition already appeared on the oldest known seal of the city, dating from 1309.
