Shield Argent, base wavy of Azure and Argent, a saltire Gules charged with five inescutcheons Azure displaying five plated in quincunx each (quinas), in central chief a scallop Or garnished Gules. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials: "CORRELHÃ".
Meaning:
The scallop is an attribute of St. James of Compostela, the local patron saint. The saltire is taken from the shield of the arms of the Braganca kin. The base wavy probably is representing river Lima.
