Official blazon

Escudo de prata, com um dragoeiro de verde, firmado em um monte de areia de sua cor, tudo assente em um contra-chefe ondado de três peças de verde e prata. Coroa mural de prata de cinco torres. Listel branco com a legenda a negro : " CIDADE DO PORTO SANTO ".

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on August 2, 1996.

Unfortunately I have no background information on these arms. Any information is welcome !

The previous arms were granted on January 14, 1947 and only differ in the crown.
