Shield Azure a well Argent, on dexter chief point a Paschal Lamb couchant nimbed Or. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case serifed letters "FREGUESIA DE MOIMENTA DA BEIRA".
Meaning:
All charges refer to St. John the Baptist, the local patron saint. The Paschal Lamb is his attribute, and the well is a representation of the so called "fountain of St. John" (Portuguese: Fonte de São João).
