Shield Or, divided by a saltire Azure, in base quarter a millstone Gules, in each other quarter a swallow of Sable and Argent. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black capitals "AVELEDA - VILA DO CONDE".
Meaning:
The saltire is alluding to St. Andrew, venerated by the local people. The swallows are representing emigration, a characteristic of the commune. The millwheel is representing the craft of millers, to which many locals belonged in the past.
