The lower part of the shield refers to other very important episode in the history of Spain. During the medieval ages the Christian kingdom of Spain was located only in the Northern region of Spain, and the rest was dominated by the Moors. The Cantabrian fleet, was ordered by the king of Spain to break the chains that the muslims had placed crossing the river Guadalquivir (in Seville) and that fleet broke them and conquered Seville. The victorious fleet was composed by the four main villages of Cantabria, including Santoña and since that date the arms show a figure of a ship breaking a chain, which is firmly bound to the famous Torre del Oro (Golden tower), one of the symbols of Seville. This same picture of the ship is also included in the arms of the other villages that participated in the conquest of Seville, [[Laredo (Cantabria)|Laredo]], [[Santander]], and [[San Vicente de la Barquera]]. | The lower part of the shield refers to other very important episode in the history of Spain.
