Coat of arms of Durango

Coat of Arms of Durango

The coat of arms of Durango was adopted in 1658.

Symbolism

It has the following elements: a brown oak tree with abundant foliage in a bright green color; two wolves with a running attitude, on a blue background; two green palm branches as a garland on both sides of the shield, which are linked by their stems with a red bow at the bottom. The shield is inspired by that of the Basque province of Vizcaya, Spain.

All this is framed in a bronze-brown frame. At the top of the shield appears the royal crown in a golden yellow color with blue stones in its vertical arches and diamond-shaped stones at its base, these are embedded and alternate in red and blue, inside the crown there is a bright red lining. Finally, at the top is the crown that represents the king of Spain.

Historical coats

The symbol is used by all successive regimes in New Viscay, in different forms.
