Shield Vert over a base of Argent and Azure, a weathercock Or standing on a globe of the same topped by a cross fleury of the same. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading "PRAZERES - LISBOA" in black upper case letters.
Meaning:
The weathercock stands on top of the tower of the Church of Our Lady of Needs, a landmark in the commune. Its golden colour is symbolizing nobility and power, and it reminds on the fact that the royal family had resided here in the Palace of Needs ( Palácio das Necessidades ), which is today the seat of the ministry for foreign affairs. The base wavy is representing Tejo River. Finally the green colour of the shield is representing faith and hope.
