Coat of arms of Castilla–La Mancha

The coat of arms of the Castilla–La Mancha (or Castile–La Mancha) is described in the Spanish Law 1 of 30 June 1983, the Law of the coat of arms of Castilla-La Mancha Region and further regulated by Decree 132 of 5 July 1983, approving the official design of the coat of arms of Castilla-La Mancha and Decree 115 of 12 November 1985, supplementing Decree 132/1983.

The blazon of the arms of Castilla-La Mancha is:

Party per pale. On the dexter [the statute literally says "On the first quarter"], on a field gules a castle Or, embattled, port and windows of azure and masoned sable. On the sinister [the statute literally says "The second quarter"], a field argent. On the crest, a royal crown enclosed, which is a circle of Or crimped with precious gems, composed of eight finials, of Acanthus mollis, five visible, topped by pearls and whose leaves emerge from half-arch, which converge in a globe of azure or blue, with a semimeridian and the equator Or topped by a cross Or. The crown lined with gules or red.

The coat of arms is based on the regional flag, proposed during the era of the "pre-autonomous" region. The selected design was that of Manchego heraldist Ramón José Maldonado. The flag was made official in Article 5 of the Statute of Autonomy. Some institutions as the Consultative Council or the University of Castilla–La Mancha use their own variants based on the coat of arms of the region.
