Shield Or with base wavy of Azure and Argent, a cogwheel Gules, surrounded by two branches of horseradish Vert, in base crossed per saltire, in chief a fessy weaver's shuttle Gules with filaments Argent. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials "POUSADA DE SARAMAGOS".
Meaning:
The name of the commune means "harbourage of horseradish". The horseradish (Port.: saramagos) is thus canting.
