Shield Or semy of olive twigs Vert fruited Sable, a fleur-de-lis Azure, base of cobblestones Gules masoned Argent. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials: "SANTA VITÓRIA".
Meaning:
The fleur-de-lis is referring to the commune's name and origin. The twigs are representing agriculture, especially the cultivation of olive trees. The base is referring to the past of the commune and a Lusitan castle, which existed since post Roman times.
