Province :Ourense
| Spanish | De gules y sobre ondas de azur y plata, un puente de oro, sumado de una torre del mismo y de la cruz sanjuanista de plata, flanqueadas de dos ramas de castaño al natural. Al timbre, la corona real cerrada. |
| English | blazon wanted |
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially adopted in November 2021.
The cross of Saint John is a canting symbol (San Xoán=St. John). The tower represents the old tower that in Torrevella, the bridge is the local bridge on the Navea river. The gold for the tower and bridge is a reference to the ancient Roman gold mines in the municipality.
The natural chestnut branches are a symbol of the abundance of this tree and a key food source in past times.
