The city’s characteristic coat of arms is very present

The city’s characteristic coat of arms is very present on public furniture, represented on street lamps, waste bins and even on the urban pavement. It is made up of an azure background , on which the Tower of Hercules is represented , resting on some rocks and accompanied by seven golden scallops, three on each side and one at the tip. Perhaps the most striking element is the presence of a skull with two tibias, symbolising in mythology the triumph of Hercules over Geryon. , whose remains were buried in the foundations of the lighthouse.
