"El escudo municipal es partido: 1º de Aragón, oro, cuatro palos de gules; 2º, plata, sobre un mar de azur una torre de su color natural surmontada de un ancla; por timbre corona real abierta: el escudo aparece orlado de sendas ramas verdes y va colocado en el centro geométrico de la bandera."

El escudo se puede ver en todos los rincones de la ciudad, placas con el nombre de las calles, puertas del ayuntamiento... En todas las ocasiones, la cartela exterior (el soporte) es amarillo; sin embargo, en la bandera que se iza en la entrada del Ayuntamiento, el soporte es rojo, y en el diseño que aparece en "Banderas-34," el escudo va sin soporte y sin las ramas verdes.

"The municipal coat of arms is divided per pale: 1. Aragon, or four bars gules, 2. argent, upon a sea azure a tower proper surmounted by an anchor; all surmounted by a royal open crown. The shield is bordered with green branches and is placed in the geometric center of the flag."

The shield can be seen everywhere in the city: street signs, the doors of the town hall... In all instances, the cartouche (the external support) is yellow. However on the flag hoisted at the entrance of the City, the cartouche is red, and in the version that appears in "Banderas 34," the shield is not on a cartouche at all, and also lacks the green branches.
