The commune´s homepage was the only one among the Silves communes displaying only a logo.
Logo:
White with red embattled castle, i.e. one wall and one tower and an uncomplete red circle rising from the tower.
The castle is superimposed by a stylised inscription "Silves" in counterchenged colours, and beneath a smaller red, stylized inscription "Junta de Freguesia"
