PUERTO REAL
Region : Andalucía
Province : Cádiz
Official blazon
Cuartelado de Castilla y León. En escusón ovalado, sentados bajo dosel carmesí, los Reyes Católicos, don Fernando con una espada en la mano y doña Isabel con un cetro, teniendo dos hemisferios terrestres a los pies. En punta, una granada abierta en campo de plata. Al timbre, corona real abierta.
Origin/meaning
The arms are a combination of the arms of the Kings of Spain and a escutcheon showing a harbour. The name of the town means Royal Harbour and the arms are thus canting. The Royal arms show the lion of Léon, the castle of Castille and the pomegranate of Granada, and are the arms used around 1500, when a new harbour was needed and the town was founded.
Literature : Delgado Orellana, 1969
