THE COAT OF ARMS OF VALLADOLID

The Coat of Arms of the city was created by Attorney Juan Francisco Peón Ancona, recorded in the archives of Heraldry and in accordance with the rules governing Spanish Coat of Arms.

The Coat of Arms is a mix of many elements and symbols: Six Spanish towers that symbolize the suburbs or barrios of Valladolid (Sisal, Bacalar, Candelaria, Santa Lucía and San Juan). A Maya zero which represents the influence of their culture. A bouquet of flowers of Xtabentún. A branch with a cotton ball which speaks to the first industrial textile of the nation. In the center is a White Dove, the symbol of Zaci in Mayan. The base color red represents the blood shed by the Maya during the conquest. The emblem "Heroic City" stands out proclaiming the honor of the city whose residents have stood up and rebelled at different times demonstrating their courage and valor, that is where the city gets its name, "The Heroic City". 

The Coat of Arms was created in 1973, under the tutelage of the Municipal President Sr. Juan Alcocer Rosado, on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the city status of Valladolid. That date in history is the 13th of December in the year 1823.
