  • The coat of arms of Quito is the heraldic symbol that represents this Ecuadorian city and it was granted and issued by the Spanish King Charles I on March 14, 1541. In the Real Cédula (Royal Certificate) the emblazoned is indicated: A castle of silver tucked between two hills or rocks, with a cellar at the foot of each one of them green, and also on top of that castle a golden cross with its green foot held by two black eagles cracked with gold, one on the right hand and the other on the left, put in flight, all in red field, and on the edge of a golden cord of San Francisco in blue field. The castle is a symbol used by Castile, one of the kingdoms of Charles I and the one that had more weight in the Americas, although it is also commonly used for the representation of a fortress, walled town or city of outstanding importance. The mountains, of which no enamel is specified, draw, when placing the castle in between, a valley, thus representing the geography of the city, located between the Pichincha volcano in the west and other hills, mountains and volcanoes to the east. Each hill shows a cava (cave) that can be related to mining, notable at the beginning of the Spanish presence. The cross is a Christian symbol put over the castle and that is held by its foot by two black eagles. The eagles are heraldic furniture very used by Charles I in representation of his imperial ownership of the Holy Roman Empire and that sometimes is shown as one and two-headed or two eagles in themselves. The Royal Certificate ends by putting by border a cord of St. Francis, saint to which the name of the city was dedicated, in or in a field of azure. The design used by the Metropolitan City Hall shows the shield accompanied by a molded card decorated and stamped by a golden helmet. This version was adopted on 1944. (en)
  • El escudo de armas de San Francisco de Quito es el símbolo heráldico que representa a la ciudad y que fue otorgado y expedido por S.M. el Rey Carlos I de España el 14 de marzo de 1541 en Talavera.​ En la Real Cédula se indica el blasonado: Un castillo de plata metido entre dos cerros o peñas, con una cava al pie de cada uno de ellos de color verde, y asimismo encima de dicho castillo una cruz de oro con su pie verde que la tengan en las manos dos águilas negras grietadas de oro, la una a la mano derecha y la otra a la izquierda, puestas en vuelo, todo en campo de colorado, y por orla un cordón de San Francisco de oro en campo azul.​​ El castillo es un símbolo utilizado por Castilla, uno de los reinos (Corona) de Carlos I y el que más peso tenía en América, aunque también es comúnmente utilizado para la representación de una fortaleza, villa amurallada o ciudad de destacada importancia. Los montes, de los que no se especifica esmalte dibujan, al situar el castillo entre medio, un valle, representando así la geografía de la ciudad, asentada entre el Pichincha al oeste y otros cerros, montes y volcanes al este. Cada cerro muestra una cava (cueva) que puede relacionarse con la explotación minera, notable a los inicios de la presencia española. La cruz es un símbolo cristiano surmontado al castillo y que es sujetada por su pie por dos águilas negras. Las águilas son mueble heráldico muy utilizado por Carlos I en representación de su titularidad imperial del Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico y que a veces se muestra como una y bicéfala o dos águilas en sí. La Real Cédula finaliza señalando por orla un cordón de San Francisco, santo al que fue dedicado el nombre de la ciudad, de oro en un campo de azur, que corresponde a una bordura.​​ El diseño empleado por la Alcaldía Metropolitana muestra el escudo acompañado de una tarjeta moldurada decorada y timbrado por un yelmo dorado ornado con airones. Ese diseño fue adoptado en 1944.​ * Representación heráldica del blasón de 1541. * Versión referencial hallada en las publicaciones transcriptas del Libro de Cabildos de Quito 1597 - 1603. (es)
