Brasão de São Salvador (Santarém)

Official blazon

Escudo de prata, grilheta de negro, movente dos flancos, posta em faixa e quebrada; em chefe, um mundo azul, encimado por cruz de ouro e, em ponta, um livro de prata, aberto e encadernado de vermelho. Coroa mural de prata de três torres. Listel branco com a legenda a negro, em maiúsculas : " SANTARÉM - SÃO SALVADOR ".

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on October 1, 1996.

The orb is the symbol of the local patron saint, the Divine Saviour. The book refers to the schools and the seminary in the parish.

The broken chain refers to the fact that the Marquis of Sá da Bandeira was born and baptised in the parish. He was a main activist to abolish slavery and is buried in Santarém.
