Symbols of Castril

The coat of arms was adopted by the Ayuntamiento on 14.10.1987, but there is no information for the flag date.

• Coat of arms:

Description: A green shield, bearing in a divided escutcheon, first, silver, a rampant red lion and second, silver, two green batons placed diagonally, the escutcheon surmounted by a silver tower, masoned and opened black, and flanked by two keep towers of the same metal. The crest is a closed royal crown.
The coat of arms also features a ribbon with the inscription "Sub tuum praesidium confugimus Sancta Dei Genitrix" ("Under your protection we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God")
