Shield Argent a fess Sable charged with three wheat ears Or arrayed in fess, accompanied by an orbicular cross Gules
in dexter chief and a cross of the Order of the Knights of Christ in sinister chief dexter, in base a fess wavy Azure.
Mural crown Argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "VILA DE FERREIRA DO ZÊZERE".
Meaning:
"Ferreira" relates to a blacksmith or to his shop (not refered on the coat of arms), "do" means "of the", and "Zêzere" is the name of a river (largest tributary of the Tagus on portuguese territory), depicted on the coat of arms by a wavy fess. The other charges refer to the local importance of wheat and to the Orders Templar and of Christ’s Knights.
