I rött fält en agnus dei av silver med blå beväring, därest dylik skall komma till användning, och gloria av guld, bärande på en korsstång av guld en fana av silver, vari ett rött kors, och åtföljd av en framför lammet stående kalk av guld, i vilken blod av guld sprutar.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on May 14, 1943.
Visby received city rights in the early 13th century and was an important city in the Hanseatic League. The oldest seal of the city dates from 1340 and shows the Paschal Lamb, the symbol of St. John. The field of the shield was covered with lilies, the symbol of St. Mary. Later seals only show the lamb.

 The arms in the Kaffe Hag album +/- 1935 |
