Counterchanged

Party per fess, the base per pale: 1 Or, a hurt; 2 Gules and 3 Argent, over both a cross of Malta counterchanged.

Escudo cortado y medio partido: 1^o de oro, un roel de azur; 2^o de gules y 3^o de plata, brochante sobre ambos, una cruz de Malta del uno al otro.

Coat of arms painted by me, highlighted with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, and with a freehand finishing.

Coat of arms of the municipality of Candasnos, Huesca, designed by Valeriano Labara Ballestar, approved by the Government of Aragon. Bibliographic reference [Labara Ballestar, V. C.; 2019; pages 341-368]. It has been an honor for me to emblazon this version of this coat of arms for Valeriano Labara.

Design rationale

The hurt represents what is known as the Good Raft, a symbol of the town and its people, it is a circular cistern of 40 meters in diameter of Roman origin, and the Maltese cross is a symbol of its connection since 1188 to the Royal Monastery of Sijena of Hospitaller nuns of the Order Malta.

Kimon Andreou edits, from November 2008 to July 2015, his interesting idtg.org on heraldry, genealogy, history and other related topics.

The name and domain of this blog idtg.org are the acronyms of Kimon Andreou's own Greek motto which says:

• «Ischys Dia Tis Gnoseos»,
• in Greek «ΙΣΧΥΣ ΔΙΑ ΤΗΣ ΓΝΩΣΕΩΣ»,
• which could be translated into Castilian as «el poder del conocimiento».

This motto has led him to seek knowledge since he was young and he offers it to us with his enjoyable posts about biographies, books on heraldry, coats of arms that generate controversy, on how to design your own coat of arms (gentilitian), heraldic artists, nobility, orders of chivalry and merit, orthodox orders and many other topics that I recommend.
