Arms of Martos

Origin/meaning

The cross is the symbol of the "Orden de los Calatrava" a old Christian order; the castle symbolises the historical castle (now a ruin).

The lower half of the arms symbolise the story of the patron saint, St. Marta, who killed a dragon with blessed water from a caldron.
