Shield Argent, a grapevine Purpure leaved Vert, in dexter chief a papal cross Gules, in sinister chief a cross of the Order of the Knights of Christ. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials "REQUIÃO - VILA NOVA DE FAMALICÃO".
Meaning:
The grapevine is symbolizing viticulture as prime economic activity. The papal cross is alluding to Pope Sylvester I (died 335), the local patron saint. The other cross reminds on the existence of a commandery of the Order of the Knights of Christ in this place.
