Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials "CASTELO DE PENALVA".

The keys are an attribute of St.Peter, the local patron saint, this time in an unusual configuration (mostly they are crossed per saltire). The castle is a canting element.
