Argent, a bear sable supported on a strawberry tree vert fructed gules; on a bordure azure seven stars argent
The main components of the Coat of arms of Madrid (the bear and the tree) have their origin in the Middle Ages.[1] The different coats of arms have experienced several modifications, losing for example motifs often displayed in early designs such as water and flint.[2]
In 1822, the municipal council adopted a design that entailed the addition of a gryphon and civic crown,[3] which were removed in 1967.[4]
The shield is argent, a bear sable supported on a strawberry tree vert fructed gules; on a bordure azure seven stars argent. The shield is adorned with a large open royal crown of gold and precious stones, with eight rosettes (five visible) alternating with eight pearls; this crown is commonly used in Spanish heraldry for territorial and municipal arms.[5]
The image of the seven stars, the bear and the strawberry tree is also a component of the badge of the football club Atlético Madrid.
