Coat of Arms

image by Sérgio Horta, 9 June 2024

The arms are Argent between two pairs of barrulets wavy Azure and surrounded by two pairs of wheat ears Vert tied Gules a bee Sable emphasized Or. Mural crown Argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "VILA DE BOTICAS".
Meaning:
The barrulets stand for local rivers, the wheat means farming, the bee means workmanship, and the heraldic metals and colours bear the usual pseudo-historical claptrap: green for hope and faith, red for strength, vigour and stamina, black for firmness and honesty, blue for charity and loyalty and white for humility and wealth. "Boticas" may mean either "stores", or "shops" (from Greek "apoþeka"), or be a diminutive of "boots". These arms are canting for neither of these percieved meanings.
