The star and the motto ("Carmona shines in Andalusia like the morning star shines at sunset") seem the refer to the shining morning star that appeares to the eyes of Fernando II, allowing him to see the inexpugnable fortifications watched by several warriors; accordingly, the king decided that an attack would be useless, and ordered to destroy the grapevines, the gardens and the houses in the neighborhood.
