Shield Argent, a pine eradicated Vert flanked by a rounded cross patty Gules at dexter and a cross patty Gules charged with a Greek cross Argent at sinister, in base three barrulets wavy Azure. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials: "PINHEIRO GRANDE"
Meaning:
The pine is a canting element. The crosses refer to the Orders of the Templars and of the Knights of Christ. The barrulets wavy are symbolizing riches of water.
