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.
