Shield Or with base wavy of Azure over Vert, semy of wavelets Argent, issuant from base a throughout bridge Sable masoned Argent, having seven arches, in chief a crozier Gules, flanked by two charcoals Sable, glowing Gules. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black capitals "SETE CIDADES".
Meaning:
The name of the commune means "seven cities". Thus the number of arches probably refers to the number of cities. The base wavy refers to a mixture of sweetwater (blue) and saltwater (green), although the commune has no access to the sea.
