Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on April 15, 2008.

The arms were granted to Antequera by Infante Don Fernando and show a Jar of Lilies, emblem of the Order of the Terrace. This Order was re-established in the Kingdom of Castile, having to his sides the lion and the castle, canting symbols of the own Kingdom of Castilla-Leon. The letters A T Q above and P S A below, mean Antequera Por Su Amor (Antequera for its love).
