Coat of arms

Shield Or with base wavy of Azure and Argent, two eradicated trees Vert ordered per fess, in chief a fleur-de-lis Azure. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black capitals "PARADELA - SEVER DO VOUGA".
Meaning:
The base wavy is probably representing Vouga River. The fleur-de-lis is an attribute of Our Lady of Loreto, the local patron saint.
