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.
