Coat of arms

[Vermelha commune CoA] image by Klaus-Michael Schneider, 3 May 2015

Shield Gules, two grapevines Purpure leaved Or, in central chief a pear Or shaded Vert and leaved Argent, in base a horn Or tied Argent. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black capitals: "VERMELHA".
Meaning:
Vermelha means "the red one". But I think that is the background of the shield just per incident.
