Coat of arms

Shield Vert; a 5-point star Argent, superimposed by a heraldic rose Azure, barbed of the same and seeded Or, flanked by two fern fronds Or, crossed per saltire beneath the star; in chief a Crown of the Holy Spirit Or; in base two barrulets wavy Argent. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black capitals "FETEIRA - HORTA".

Meaning:
The fern fronds are canting elements, as the communes name means "fern glade", or simply "place of ferns". The crown is alluding to the local patron saint, whose "Empire" is covering seven different zones of the commune. Rose and star are representing Our Lady of Lourdes, whose honour day is celebrated in the commune since 1883. The barrulets wavy are stressing the coastal character of the commune.
