Coat of arms

[Arez commune CoA (until 2013)] image by Sérgio Horta,20 May 2008

The arms are Or an olive branch Vert fruited Sable between two heraldic fountains and in chief a cross Vert fleury (Avis Order Cross). Mural crown Argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "AREZ"
Meaning:
The fountains stand for the local Fadagosa springs and spa. (The English blazon above is a direct translation from the official text, although the arms in use have the branch and the cross simply placed in pale, forming a cross with the two fountains.)
