===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The arms were officially granted on June 28, 1984. | |||
Vila Nova de Gaia is one of the oldest cities in Portugal, which is symbolised by the watchtower, flanked by the oldest arms of the Kings, a blue shield with eleven coins. The base shows the Douro river, whereas the two grape leaves symbolise that Vila Nova de Gaia is the centre of the port wine industry. | |||
Previously the city used the arms below, whih only differ in the crown. Those arms were granted on September 10, 1934. | |||
