Official blazon

En campo de azur, la figura de un rey, con espada y cetro en sus manos y sentado en su trono, bajo un arco de oro apoyado en dos columnas de plata con base y capiteles de oro, y rodeado de una muralla exagonal con seis torres igualmente de oro y con puerta de gules. Lleva bordura de gules con ocho castillos de tres torres almenadas de oro, aclarados de azur y mazonados de sable. Va timbrado con corona real cerrada.

Origin/meaning

The arms show a walled city, with in its centre an image of the founder of the city King Alfonso X. The gate probably shows the main gate of the medieval city, the gate of Toledo. The bordure shows the canting castle of the Kingdom of Castilla.
