Mural crown Argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "VILA DA LOURINHÃ".
Meaning:
Laurel trees are the most abundant native species of trees in the area and was already depicted on the oldest arms of the village. The fleur-de-lis are taken from the arms of Dom Jordão, the first benefactor of Lourinhã.
