Coat of arms

image by Sérgio Horta,

The arms are Azure a castle Argent masoned Sable with port and windows Sable, beneath a winged serpent Argent emphasized Sable. Mural crown Argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "NOTÁVEL VILA DE SERPA", this augmented inscription denoting military valour.
António Martins-Tuválkin, 27 May 2007

This winged serpent is a canting element: "Serpe", a cognate of this toponym, is Portuguese “heraldese” for, exactly, a winged serpent. It shows also as a crest of the pre-1910 national arms (and thence in the emblem of F. C. Porto), and on the municipal coat of arms of Vila do Bispo.
António Martins-Tuválkin, 28 May 2007

Flag and arms adopted and published in the official journal Diário do Governo : II Série in 1948.02.03.
