Coat of Arms

Shield Argent a roofed tower Gules with port and windows Sable flanked in base by two olive branches Vert fruited Sable with their stem tips in saltire, in chief two cobbles Purpure gutty Or. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case serifed letters "SEIXO DE MANHOSES"
Meaning:
The word "seixo" means "cobble" (as in a natural stone bigger than a pebble and smaller than a boulder), so these arms are partly canting. The tower is an attribute of Sta. Barbara, the local patron saint.
