Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on September 26, 1996.

The arms show the local castle and the cross of the Order of St. John, which had some possessions in the area. The wavy base symbolises the Sil river.

The four sticks are taken from the early medieval arms of the Lords of Quiroga.
