Muralto

Argent a castle embattled ajouré and three fleur-de-lis Gules a base of the Second surmounted by a fleur-de-lis of the First.
Christopher Southworth

The commune of Muralto has taken over the arms of the Muralto family in 1882. These arms were found on a keystone of the family's house.
Pascal Gross, 17 June 2003

These are possibly canting arms, since muro alto means "high wall".
Santiago Dotor, 18 June 2003

In 1881 the current municipality of Muralto, the formerly so-called "lower Orselina", separated from the Orselina commune. Thus the similarity between their emblems.
