Shield Argent; a fess sable, charged with a stag salient Or, flanked by two towers of the same; six barrulets wavy Azure, three in chief and three in base. Mural crown Argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll with inscription in black capitals: "VILA DE CERVA".
Meaning:
Blue barrulets wavy as usual symbolising rivers, in this case Poio and Louredo, furthermore the riches of water, making the soil fertile. The black fess is representing the soil, furthermore hone firmness (of character) and honesty. The stag (Portuguese: cerva) is a canting element

Meaning:
The lemons (Port.: limões) are canting elements. The granary is probably symbolising agriculture.
