Region : Veneto
Province : Venezia

Portogruare1.jpg

Official blazon

Di rosso, al campanile d'argento, con base a gradini dello stesso, su campagna di verde accostato da due gru al naturale, affrontate, con le zampe l'una sulla campagna, l'altra sui gradini.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on February 4, 1935.

The tower is the old watchtower in the city. The cranes are the guardians of the city. The arms are also canting; the tower represents the gate (Porto) and the word Gruaro is derived from the Celtic word for cranes.
