Coat of arms

[Sobrado (Castelo de Paiva) commune CoA (until 2013)] image by Klaus-Michael Schneider, 26 Aug 2016

Shield Or, a memorial Azure garnished Argent, in chief a heraldic rose Gules, seeded Or and barbed Vert, at dexter and a Greek cross Gules acorned Proper at sinister. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black capitals "SOBRADO - CASTELO DE PAIVA".
Meaning:
The acorned cross, usually an attribute of St. Anthony, is according to source taken from the arms of the family of Bulhões, to which perhaps also the memorial is dedicated.
