Official Coat of Arms of Spain - Symbolism, History & Design #3678322 (License: Personal Use)

This heraldic emblem features a quartered shield: top-left shows the golden castle of Castile on red; top-right, the rampant red lion of León on white; bottom-left, red-and-yellow stripes of Aragon; bottom-right, the linked chains of Navarre on red. A central escutcheon displays the fleurs-de-lis of France (historical claim to Navarre), and the pomegranate of Granada at the base. The royal crown sits atop, while the motto “Plus Ultra” (“Further Beyond”) wraps the Pillars of Hercules-symbolizing Spain’s global reach since the Age of Exploration.

Used officially on government documents, state buildings, diplomatic missions, and national symbols; commonly searched by students, historians, designers, and tourists seeking authoritative visual references for Spanish identity and heraldry.
