Coat of arms

[Nossa Senhora da Graça de Póvoa e Meadas commune CoA]

image by Sérgio Horta, 9 Jan 2011

The arms are Vert three lightning bolts Or set in inverted pile and in chief marian crown Or between two olive twigs Argent per pale fruited Or. Mural crown argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "NOSSA SENHORA DA GRAÇA DE PÓVOA E MEADAS".
Meaning:
Both the unusual official commune name and the crown on the arms refer to the Catholic parish this commune derived from and is coterminous with. The bolts may refer to the local dams, athough they are not (currently) hydroelectrical, just irrigational.

I spotted a mini banner in the local tourist office on 1 October 2013 with scroll reading "N^A S^A DA GRAÇA DE PÓVOA E MEADAS"..

Flag and arms adopted and published in the official journal Diário do Governo : III Série in 2002.05.24.
