MIRAGAIA
Municipality : Porto
District : Porto
Official blazon
Escudo de verde, livro aberto de prata, pintado de vermelho encimado por duas chaves, uma de ouro e outra de prata, passadas em aspa; em campanha, pano de muralha de cinco arcos cegos, de prata, lavrado e realçado de negro, movente dos flancos e de um pé ondeado de azul e prata. Coroa mural de prata de três torres. Listel branco com a legenda a negro, em maiúsculas : “ MIRAGAIA - PORTO “.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on July 1, 1997.
The crossed keys represent the patron S. Pedro (St. Peter), and the blue and silver waves in the bottom end represent the Douro river. The book refers to the schools, museums and monuments that exist in the freguesia, as does the stone wall in the bottom of the shield.
The green field represents not only the importance and size of green spaces but also the hope in the future from the local people.
