Coat of arms

Shield Argent, issuant from base a triplemount Vert, charged with a cogwheel Or at dexter and a mattock's blade, in chief a lantern Sable illuminated Or. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials "VILA CHÃ - VALE DE CAMBRA"
Meaning:
The cogwheel is representing industries, the blade agriculture. The lantern is an attribute of Our Lady of Purification, as Our Lady of Candeias being the local patron saint. The triplemount is alluding to local geography, as the village is located in a valley.
