Shield Argent, a stone oak Vert acorned Or, flanked in chief by two crosses fleury fitchy Gules. Mural crown Argent with four visible towers (town rank) and grey scroll with inscription in black initials "VILA DE GARVÃO"
Meaning:
Both "sword crosses" refer to the Order of Santiago. Nearly the same arms, with the crosses being Purpure and voided or, if you prefer, charged with a Greek cross Argent, are already displayed in Ignacio de Vilhena Barbosa: "As Cidades e Villas da Monarchia portugueza que teem brasão d'armas", vol.1, p. 183, Lisboa 1860.
Garvão, which had in the Middle Ages the biggest market South of River Tejo, had already a coat of arms carved in stone since the times, in which it had been a municipality (1267 - 1836) and consisted of two communes: Garvão proper and Santa.Luzia. Both communes form a united commune since 2013.
