The arms were officially granted on November 16, 1999.

The arms show an eagle holding a canister of ink. This was used on the seal of the local monastry of the Order of Lóios.

The chief shows two tobacco leaves, symbolising the historical tobacco factory in the parish. The cogwheel symbolises the industry in the parish in general.

The base show the Tejo (Tagus) river.
