Brasão de Atalaia (Lourinhã)

Official blazon

Escudo de prata, galeão de negro realçado de ouro, com mastreação de negro, destroçado e vestido de vermelho, com os panos rasgados, vogando sobre campanha diminuta de três burelas ondadas de verde e prata, esta carregada de dois peixes de vermelho; em chefe, duas armações de moinho de negro, cordoadas do mesmo e vestidas de azul. Coroa mural de prata de três torres. Listel branco, com a legenda a negro: “ ATALAIA - LOURINHÃ “.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on December 7, 2001.

The arms show in the chief windmill blades, for the formerly important windmills in the parish. The sinking ship is the Galley São Nicolau, which sank on the local coast. This was one of the most striking events in the local history and thus taken in the arms.

The base shows the Atlantic Ocean and the importance of fishing.
