Shield Argent with base wavy of Azure and Argent,, a fessy key Purpure between a rounded cross patty Gules above and a grapevine Purpure leaved Vert beneath. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials: "SÃO PEDRO DE TOMAR".

The key is an attribute of St. Peter, name giver of the commune and local patron saint. The cross is alluding to the Order of the Templars.
