Coat of arms

image by Sérgio Horta, 9 Apr 2016

Shield Azure, two flails Argent in saltire, in central chief a crown Or, in base three corn cobs Or ordered 1: 2. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black capitals "SANTA MARIA DE PIGEIROS".
Meaning:
The crown looks like a royal crown, but the official blazon says, it is a "Marian crown". And thus it would be an attribute of St. Mary, the local patron saint and name giver of the commune.
