Unfortunately I have no background information on these arms. Any information is welcome !
Escudo de prata, aspa de azul carregada de cinco besantes de ouro, acompanhada em chefe de uma estrela de cinco pontas raiada de ouro e em ponta de um alão da sua cor, deitado. Coroa mural de prata de três torres. Listel branco, com a legenda a negro em maiúsculas : “ ABRIGADA “.


'''Origin/meaning :'''<br>
The arms were officially granted on March 17, 1995.
The silver shield with the blue cross and golden besants is taken from the arms of the Araújo family. The family played a large role in the local history and Gonçalo Vaz de Araujo founded a chapel in the local church.
The star was added as a symbol for Our Lady of Grace, th elocal patron saint, blue being the colour of St. Mary. The dog was taken from the arms of the city of Alenquer.
