Escudo de prata, pano de muralha com ameias, flanqueado de duas torres de verde, aberto e iluminado do campo, acompanhado em chefe de uma flor-de-lis de vermelho e em ponta um cacho de uvas de púrpura, folhado de verde. Coroa mural de prata de quatro torres. Listel branco com a legenda a negro, em maiúsculas: “ VILA VERDE DOS FRANCOS “.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on February 11, 1997.

The greem castle symbolise the former castle in the municipality, which was built by Frankish Crusaders in the reconquest of Lisbon. The castle is green (Verde) as a canting symbol for the Frankish (Francos) castle (Vila). The fleur-de-lis, being the symbol of the French Royal family, was added as a further reference. The grapes symbolise the importance of viticulture for the parish.
