Coat of Arms

image by António Martins-Tuválkin and Sérgio Horta, 12 June 2024

Shield Argent, a boar Sable passant under a large sword-cross of Santiago Gules, itself charged with a pelican Or in his piety, and flanked by two towers Sable with port and windows void, flanked at dexter and sinister two trees Vert fruited Or, trunked and eradicated Sable, on base a fess wavy Azure. Mural crown Argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "VILA DE GRÂNDOLA".
Meaning:
I have no special information about the coat of arms, except that the Santiago Cross (here depicted in red instead of purple, as usual in other coats of arms, and charged with the pelican, yet another oddity) relates to the warrior monk order of the same name. The wavy fess stands for the Sado River.

Presentation of Grândola

Grândola municipality had 13 822 inhabitants in 2021, and it is divided in 5 communes, covering 807 km². It belongs to the Setúbal District and to the old province of Alentejo. The famous ballad Grândola, vila morena, used to signal the beginning of the 25 April 1974 revolution, was indeed an homage to this town.
