The falcon is symbolizing the royal falconry, located in Salvaterra de Magos, when the royal court and family visited the town. He is also symbolizing the importance and the splendour and the heritage of the town. The wheat ears are symbolizing agriculture and the fertile soil of the commune for many years giving an economic base for the people. The base wavy is representing the Tejo river and its economic importance for transports by ship.
