Blazon:„Gules, an embattled wall Argent, with open gate and open portculli, behind them, three towers Argent issauant with roofs Or, the medial higher and hexagonal, the others round.“ <br> 
The arms were officially granted on November 14, 1931, but date from medieval times. The arms are based on the medieval seal of the city, which showed a very typical design of the time; a city wall with three towers.
