ALVERCA DO RIBOTEJO
Municipality : Vila Franca de Xira
District : Lisboa
Official blazon
Escudo de prata, com duas faixas de azul ondadas em banda, acompanhadas por dois crescentes de vermelho. Coroa mural de cinco torres de prata. Listel branco, com os dizeres: " CIDADE DE ALVERCA DO RIBATEJO ", de negro.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on ?
The arms are partly canting and refer to the origin of the name. Alverca comes from the Arab Al-Birkä, that refers to a swampy area or wetlands. This is represented by the two wavy bends, which at the same time refer to the Tejo river. The two crescents are also a symbol for the Arabs that founded the town.
The previous arms were granted on June 6, 1935 and only differ in the crown.
