Created in accordance with the rules and rules of the tradition Portuguese
heraldry, it is divided in four equal parts (quarters) alternating blue and
white. The quarters relate to the idea of a cross, remembering the
Christian spirit of the colonizers of Iguaçu. The arms of the city, in the
center, symbolize the municipal government that extends to all the quadrants of
the territory. The blue symbolizes the values of
justice, nobility, perseverance, zeal and loyalty. The white was chosen as
symbol of peace, friendship, work, prosperity, pureness and faith.
