Origin/meaning

Paola's arms show three spirals on the top part: this is an engraving depicting the continuity of life. It is engraved on the neolithic temples found in this locality.

The 3 peacocks in the lower part are derived from the name and arms of the original founder of the town: Grandmaster Antoine de Paule.

The previous arms only showed a spiral.
