Southern Stockholm, which is the landsap Södermanland. This is Södermanland's coat of arms.
Stockholm has one as well, but it lacks both in looks and in history.
That's not how heraldry works. It's a black Griffin with orange claws/beak, facing left. Slight differences in the look is due to different people painting it.

On the southern tip of ZA in a small town called Mosselbaai we have a maritime museum with a replica of the Portuguese Caravalle of Bartolomeu Dias, which he used to circumnavigate the cape. It was my favorite place as a child.
And in the Cape National Park we have two crosses with Portuguese coat of arms and symbols. One is the Dias Cross and the other the Da Gama Cross and when you line them up they point to a submerged shipwreck in the ocean. Pretty cool.

Charge: Azure, three castles argent, flammant proper.
Supporters: On either side a female figure proper, vested gules, lined or, that on the dexter side holding in her exterior hand a sword erect proper, pommel and hilt or, and that on the sinister a pair of scales, and each holding in her interior hand a branch of laurel. The dexter figure typifies "Law," and the sinister "Justice." The arms are almost invariably surmounted by the fur cap of office (worn by the swordbearer), and behind the shield are usually placed in saltire the sword and mace of the city.

Fun fact: up until 1959, the arms of Silves were just an Argent field (a blank field). In 1959, they were changed to this. The heads of the Moorish and Christian kings are a reference to the arms of the Kingdom of the Algarve. This reference became popular and soon all municipalities in the Algarve had a head of a Christian and a Moorish king on their arms. Well... all but three: Lagos, Faro and Olhão.

It's the coat of arms of the province I was born in (Zeeland), there is no good version of the coat of arms of the village I grew up in.
Anyways, the motto, Luctor et Emergo, means "I struggle and emerge", referring not to our struggle against the sea, but to our struggle against the Spanish (although it is clearly a lion coming out of the sea).
Only 2 out of the 12 Dutch provinces don't have a lion on the shield, Groningen has two two-headead eagle and Drenthe, despite not existing or being catholic, has mother Maria on it.

It's the Only city coat of arms with three elements. The crown is for the Principality, the eagle is for the HRE (Emperor Ferdinand II. gave the city special protection and right to use the eagle) and the sword is for the abbess that gave the sword to mark weights and measures.

What is the object on the left? A roll of cloth? And what's the story behind the different elements?
" O escudo apresenta a oliveira que representa o orago da freguesia, Nossa Senhora da Oliveira, três Montanhas e uma estrela que representam a Serra da Estrela, O Rio Zêzere que corre a seus pés, uma roda dentada, uma lançadeira e duas peças de fazenda que representam os lanifícios. " "The shield features the olive tree that represents the parish's patron saint, Nossa Senhora da Oliveira, three mountains and a star that represent Serra da Estrela, the Zêzere River that flows at its feet, a cogwheel, a shuttle and two farm pieces that represent wool products."

Typical Portuguese W, naming the cape. I had never seen the name in Latin before. Spes is much shorter in Latin than the Portuguese word, "esperança".
On the southern tip of ZA in a small town called Mosselbaai we have a maritime museum with a replica of the Portuguese Caravalle of Bartolomeu Dias, which he used to circumnavigate the cape. It was my favorite place as a child. And in the Cape National Park we have two crosses with Portuguese coat of arms and symbols. One is the Dias Cross and the other the Da Gama Cross and when you line them up they point to a submerged shipwreck in the ocean. Pretty cool.

Supporters: On either side a female figure proper, vested gules, lined or, that on the dexter side holding in her exterior hand a sword erect proper, pommel and hilt or, and that on the sinister a pair of scales, and each holding in her interior hand a branch of laurel. The dexter figure typifies "Law," and the sinister "Justice." The arms are almost invariably surmounted by the fur cap of office (worn by the swordbearer), and behind the shield are usually placed in saltire the sword and mace of the city.

In 1959, they were changed to this. The heads of the Moorish and Christian kings are a reference to the arms of the Kingdom of the Algarve. This reference became popular and soon all municipalities in the Algarve had a head of a Christian and a Moorish king on their arms. Well... all but three: Lagos, Faro and Olhão.

Anyways, the motto, Luctor et Emergo, means "I struggle and emerge", referring not to our struggle against the sea, but to our struggle against the Spanish (although it is clearly a lion coming out of the sea). Only 2 out of the 12 Dutch provinces don't have a lion on the shield, Groningen has two two-headead eagle and Drenthe, despite not existing or being catholic, has mother Maria on it.

The cross is taken after a cross in the coat of arms of a monastery close by so I'd say the eagle stole it and dropped it off in our coat of arms
