In the door of the Coruña Town Hall there are four gold medals with the shields of the four provinces of Galicia. There are a little time-worn.
"The coat of arms of Pontevedra is the official coat of arms of the city council and the Province of Pontevedra. Both are based on the same coat of arms. In them appears, in a field of azure, a bridge of three golden arches on waves of blues and silvers. In the middle of the bridge, a golden cross. On the right bank, a castle battled with gold and cleared of goals, and on the left a tower battled with gold. The shield is stamped with a royal crown, lined with goals, or red, dated, which is a circle of gold, set with precious stones, composed of eight florets of acanthus leaves, visible five, interpolated with pearls and each of its leaves come out five diadems added of pearls that converge in an azure world, with the semimeridian and the equator of gold, added of gold cross. The figure of the bridge that appears in the shield represents the old Bridge of the Town that crosses the Lérez river and continues the Portuguese Way of Santiago from Pontevedra towards Santiago."
