Randers Byvåben - Coat of Arms of Randers
Det tidligst kendte aftryk af Randers' gamle byvåben er fra 1524. Det viser en mur med et porttårn med faldgitter, hvortil fører en bro over noget vand. I eller bag muren er afbildet to tårne. Der er flere fortolkninger af det gamle byvåben, som f.eks. bymuren med to tårne og et porttårn - altså byens fæstning eller Randers Slot med voldgrav og endelig som bymuren med bagvedliggende kirketårne. Nogle kilder mener at vide at tårnene er hhv. Gråbrådre, Sct. Clemens og Sct. Petri kirke. Ingen af disse kirker findes idag.

The earliest known Coat of Arms of Randers dated back to 1524. It shows a wall with a gate tower with portcullis, which leads a bridge over some water. In or behind the wall is depicted two towers. There are several interpretations of the old coat of arms, such as eg. citywall with two towers and a gate tower - that is the city's fortress or Randers castle with a moat and finally as a city wall with church towers showing behind it. Some sources believe to know that the towers are respectively. Gråbrådre, Sct. Clemens and Sct. Petri church. None of these churches exist today.
