Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials "SOUTO DA CASA".
Meaning:
Millwheel and base wavy are probably alluding to water power. The trees are canting, representing a chestnut grove (Port.: souto). The keys are an attribute of St. Peter, the local patron saint.
