Spanish Escudo

This is the Spanish Escudo (escutcheon) adopted by Spain after the death of Francisco Franco. This symbol was adopted in the Spanish constitution on December 27, 1978. As can be seen, the Aragon arms are in the lower left of this symbol. The other three are the arms of Castile, on the upper left, Leon, on the upper right and Navarre, on the lower right. The center symbol, with three Fleur-de-Lis, is the French Bourbon-Anjou arms which Spanish kings claimed. The two columns on either side symbolize Gibralter. The motto, "Plus Ultra" is latin for "More Beyond" which refers to the Spanish holdings in the new world.
