Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on April 4, 1938.

The bull in the arms represents the abundance of cattle in this region.

The tower shows that Beja was a fortfied town, whereas the eagles are a symbol for the Roman origin of the city. The small blue shields are taken from the Royal arms of Portugal and indicate that the city has always been a Royal city.
