Mieresg.jpg

Official blazon

Escut caironat partit: 1r. d'or; 2n. de gules; ressaltant sobre la partició 2 claus passades en sautor amb les dents a dalt i mirant cap enfora, de l'un en l'altre. Per timbre una corona mural de vila.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on January 24, 1996.

The keys are the attribute of the apostle St. Peter, the local patron saint. The colours, Or and Gules, are taken from the royal arms of Catalonia-Aragon, because Mieres was under royal jurisdiction.
