Coat of arms of Durango
coat of arms
The coat of arms of Durango was adopted in 1658.
Symbolism
It has the following elements: a brown oak tree with abundant foliage in a bright green color; two wolves with a running attitude, on a blue background; two green palm branches as a garland on both sides of the shield, which are linked by their stems with a red bow at the bottom. The shield is inspired by that of the Basque province of Vizcaya, Spain.
All this is framed in a bronze-brown frame. At the top of the shield appears the royal crown in a golden yellow color with blue stones in its vertical arches and diamond-shaped stones at its base, these are embedded and alternate in red and blue, inside the crown there is a bright red lining. Finally, at the top is the crown that represents the king of Spain.
Historical coats
The symbol is used by all successive regimes in New Viscay, in different forms.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Coat of arms of Durango” as coat of arms. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as coat of arms. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 28, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q974194. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1658.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
