Coat of Arms

Shield Vert parted by a bend wavy of silver-blue-silver; on sinister chief two keys in saltire, one Or and the other one Argent; on dexter base a pillory Or. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and short white scroll, in Bénard Guedes style, reading in black upper case serifed letters "GOSENDE".
Meaning:
The pillory is representing the old council and justice of the peace of Campo Benfeito e Roção. The keys are attributes of St. Peter, the local patron saint. The bend wavy is a representation of the Balsemão River.
