The coat of arms is "Azure St. George holding a sword and a shield stantant in a gate argent".
St. George is the patron saint of the town; the gate is the one still preserved in the town walls.
The arms originally adopted in the 1990s included also a green dragon beneath the gate, but this was refused by the Ministry of Administration.
