Summary
[edit]Description |
"In 1917, the Provincial Government constituted a responsible commission with the presentation of the proposal of a coat of arms for the province. This commission established contact with the painter Esteban Valderrama, who became the center of the task. Among others, Antonio Rossell, professor at the Instituto de Segunda Enseñanza, considered an expert in the field, was consulted. All agreed, at the artist's suggestion, to take as a base the coat of arms granted to the city in 1828, with some modifications and updates, although without strictly respecting the laws of heraldry. On October 8, 1917, the design was approved —in principle—, and it was finally ratified on January 21, 1918. The coat of arms displays a blue field and includes the following elements: in the foreground, the sea with its natural color; after, a castle —that of San Severino— with a bridge on each side, representing the capital city; in the background, the Pan de Matanzas, with a landscape and the two rivers. Further back, the sky. The coat of arms rests on a purple parchment rolled up in its four corners, which hold a ribbon with the inscription Pro-Patria. The ribbon continues until it is tied at the end in its lower part, like a tight bow that unites a bouquet of olive trees — alluding to the glory and honor of the people of Matanzas — and another of flowering canes, whose branches are distributed on both sides. This set rests on a beam of republican union, wrapped in a ribbon, and on it, a five-pointed star, representative of the Republic.
