Coat of arms of Medellín (Spain)

The coat of arms of Medellín, a municipality in the province of Badajoz, Extremadura, Spain, features a shield divided into two main fields.

The upper field typically depicts the royal arms of Castile, featuring a gold castle on a red field, symbolizing the historical allegiance and association of Medellín with the Kingdom of Castile. This acknowledges the town's importance and role within Castilian history and its control by the kingdom's monarchs.

The lower field showcases the five fleurs-de-lis, which represent the family lineage and the town’s relationship with the noble families who held power and influence within Medellín's history. The fleur-de-lis is often depicted in gold or silver on a blue field.

The shield may be topped with a royal crown, indicating the historical connection to the Spanish monarchy and its recognition as a notable settlement within the kingdom. The exact design and tinctures (colors) used can vary slightly depending on the official representation, but these are the core elements generally present in the coat of arms of Medellín.
