Lisbon Coat of Arms

Link to this page

The story behind the Lisbon Coat of Arms is a legend that was created when Sao Vicente, the patron saint of Lisbon, was murdered in 1173 by Saracens.

According to the legend of Lisbon Coat of Arms, the saint's coffin was brought to Algarve, in the south of Portugal, and was later carried to Lisbon by ship. Meanwhile, two ravens perched on the ship and kept guard to the holy corpse, an event immortalized on Lisbon's coat of arms.

These ravens are usually said to have been sea crows (cormorants) or even P. pyrrocorax (Red beaked crow). But since the legend talks about ravens, they became the symbol of Lisbon. The combination of black and white present in the Lisbon Coat of Arms reminds of the Sao Vincent’s purity and the color of the ravens’ feathers.
