Mural crown Argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case serifed letters "PINHEIRO - CASTRO DAIRE".
Meaning:
The cross is that one of the Order of Christ. The tools are alluding to local arts and crafts, especially processing of marble. The wavy bend sinister is a representation of the Paiva River.
