Coat of arms

Shield Gules, divided by a throughout Greek cross Or, each quarter charged with a Maltese cross Argent. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black capitals "VERA CRUZ - PORTEL".
Meaning:
The throughout cross probably is symbolizing the True Cross, upon which Jesus Christ was crucified. The Maltese crosses are alluding to the Order of Knights of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem.
