Coat of arms of Cabo da Vila square

 
At nº 1, Eirexa Street, on the corner with Cabo da Vila square, we find this cornered coat of arms that is unique in the town. Of military style, it brings: 1º) a potent cross, which are weapons of the TEIXEIRA; 2nd) five fleur de lays flowers placed in a cross that could have been by Deza, ALDAO; 3º what seem to be five blackjacks put on stick and placed in a strip and 4º the trout of the GAIOSO. Crested with a tufted front helmet and ornamented with lambrequins and other figures. Coat of arms on a bracket supported by two rampant lions and superimposed on the cross of Santiago.
 
 "Viana presides today, with its graceful farmhouse together with
a sparkling lake, the dam of the Bibei River that reflects
the gray and beautiful mountain range skies like the
songs and accent of the country ".
