Shield Gules, in chief a heraldic rose Or seeded Azure stemmed and barbed Argent, in base a pitcher Argent, the whole between two pallets Argent both indented outside. Mural crown with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black initials: "GANÇARIA".
Meaning:
The rose is an attribute of our Lady of Welfare, the local patron saint. The pitcher is representing the local pottery industries till the end of the 20th century. The pallets indented (shaped like saw blades) are symbolizing the local wood processing industries. Draft designed by José Bènard Guedes.
