Shield Or, a torn coat Gules surrounded by two branches of mulberry Vert fruited Purpure. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials "S. MARTINHO DAS AMOREIRAS".
Meaning:
The torn coat is an attribute of St. Martin, the local patron saint and name giver of the commune. As "amoreira" means "mulberry", the arms are canting.
