Mural crown argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "VILA DE GAVIÃO".
Meaning:
"Gavião" means "hawk" (considering the location of this municipality, most probably meant is the Eurasian sparrowhawk (Latin: Accipiter nisus); the arms are therefore canting.
