Coat of Arms


[Meixedo commune CoA (until 2013)] image by Sérgio Horta, 22 June 2024

Shield Argent two crosses calvary Sable set per fess and in chief an oak eradicated and leafed Vert, issuant from base a craggy mound Sable. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case serifed letters "MEIXEDO - MONTALEGRE".
Meaning:
The CoA of the new commune is basicly the same as that one of former Meixedo commune, altered by merely changing the tinctures of the oak and the rocks — although the blazon was constructed differently with the oak now speficically in chief.
