Shield Argent, two mounds Vert between two grindwheels Sable, issuant from base wavy Argent, charged with a bar wavy Azure, in chief scales Gules held by a flame blade sword Azure turned upwards. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "MORREIRA - BRAGA".
Meaning:
"Morreira" can be interpreted to mean "hill country" (from "morro", "hill") and thus the arms are canting. Sword and scales are attributes of St. Michael.
