Escudo de prata, com faca de vermelho, encabada de negro, posta em faixa, entre uma cruz da Ordem de Avis, em chefe e um cacho de uvas de púrpura, folhado de verde, em campanha. Coroa mural de prata de três torres. Listel branco, com a legenda a negro : “ BORBA – S. BARTOLOMEU “.
Origin/meaning :
The arms were officially granted on August 25, 2001.
The cross is the cross of the Order of Avis, as the city of Borba was a possession of the Order for a long time. The grape indicates the importance of viticulture and the famous wines of the Borba area. The knife is the symbol of St. Bartolomew, the local patron saint.
