VAQUEIROS
Municipality : Santarém
District : Santarém
Official blazon:
Escudo de ouro, um teixo de verde, arrancado do mesmo, entre duas estrelas de vermelho; em chefe, pomba do Divino Espirito Santo, de prata, nimbada de vermelho e, em campanha, quatro burelas ondadas de azul e prata. Coroa mural de prata de três torres. Listel branco, com a legenda a negro, em maiúsculas : “ VAQUEIROS – SANTARÉM “.
Origin/meaning :
The arms were officially granted on November 4, 2000.
The chief shows the dove of the Holy Spirit, the local patron saint. The two satrs are taken of the arms of the Coutinho family. D. Gonçalo Coutinho, Lord of Vaqueiros, ordered a large painting in 1596 from the local painter Luis de Camoes, which showed the family coat of arms.
The base represents the Alviela river.
