====Official blazon====Escudo de azul, barra ondada de prata e azul de três peças, acompanhada em chefe de uma espada de lâmina flamejante de vermelho, nimbada de ouro e, em ponta, de uma videira arrancada, troncada, folhada e gavinhada de prata, com três cachos de uvas de ouro. Coroa mural de prata de quatro torres. Listel branco, com a legenda a negro: “ VILA NOVA DE MONSARROS “.

Origin/meaning :
The arms were officially granted on January 23, 2002.

The sword in the arms is the symbol of the local patron saint, St. Michael. The wavy bend symbolises the many small rivers and streams in the municipality and especially the Cértima river. The grape vine in the base symbolises agriculture in general and viticulture in particular.
