Coat of arms of Melilla
This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. It uses material from the Wikipedia article "Coat_of_arms_of_Melilla".
Similar to the Coat of arms of Ceuta, the Coat of arms of Melilla combine elements from different earlier coats-of-arms, in this instance those of Castile and Leon. It is the central device of the Flag of Melilla. The supporters are the Pillars of Hercules, an ancient name given to the Straits of Gibraltar from the Coat of arms of Spain, and read "No more beyond" in Latin. The top part of the coat of arms reads "Praeferre Patriam Liberis Parentem Decet."
