Mural crown Argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials "SORTELHA"
Meaning:
The castle is reminding on the fact that Sortelha had been a walled village with a castle in the past. The annulet is reminding on medieval tournaments, where the knights used annulets as a target in archery. The mountains are representing the local landscape. The barrulet wavy is representing little Liz River crossing the commune.
