Coat of arms

image by Sérgio Horta, 1 Sep 2008

The arms are Azure a 5-point star Or and in chief a cogwheel Argent at dexter and a snow cristal Argent at sinister and in base six 5-point stars Or alongside an invisible embowed line. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (commune rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "FREGUESIA DE SEIA"
Meaning:
Both, the snow cristal and the stars, refer surely to the local Serra da Estrela, literally "Star Range", the highest mountain in mainland Portugal; the cogwheel may refer to local industry.
António Martins-Tuválkin, 1 Sep 2008

Flag and arms adopted and published in the official journal Diário da República: III Série in 1996.12.26.
