| Spanish | En campo de plata, cinco escusones de azur, puestos en cruz, cargados cada uno de cinco bezantes de plata, colocados en aspa, y una bordura de gules cargada de siete castillos de oro, dos en jefe, dos en flanco y tres hacia la punta, todo ello coronado de marquesal |

Origin/meaning
The arms are basically identical to the coat of arms of Portugal, since that city was conquered by King John I of Portugal on 21 August 1415. The city chose to join Spain when Portugal again became independent at the end of the Iberian Union. The difference is that the tower in the center chief of the Portuguese arms is placed in the point.
