La Pobla de Vallbona

La Pobla de Vallbona is a municipality in the province of Valencia in the Valencian Community, Spain.
The shield of La Pobla de Vallbona was mainly created to avoid fraud and mistakes with documents or authorizations that each mayor of the towns of Spain issued. In 1848 the government implied as an obligation to use a stamp with the goal of not confusing documents. This is when La Pobla de Vallbona decided to use the shield that has been used since 1975.
The shield is divided in three parts. The first part that is the largest has the 4 bars of Aragón; thus this shows that the origins of the town were established taking into account Aragón’s costumes. Then, there are two smaller divisions one have 3 “moreras” of sinople ; representing how abundant is the town with trees and agriculture. The last division has a blue background that indicates loyalty and also there is the “caserio de plata” that makes reference of the name “Pobla” that is the unique characteristic of the vallbonenses: Loyalty. Lastly, one can see at the top the Royal Crown.
