The official coat of arms of the Capital District of Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, was granted by the Emperor Charles V to the New Kingdom of Granada on December 3, 1548 in Valladolid.
It was used by the Viceroyalty of New Granada until independence, when a new coat of arms was adopted for the new republic of Gran Colombia.
It continued to serve unofficially as the emblem of the city, but it was formally adopted as the coat of arms for the city of Bogotá by Accord 31 of 1932.
The coat of arms contains in the middle of the shield an imposing Imperial Eagle all in sable in a field of Or.
Its border is azure with nine golden pomegranates, which represent the states that in that day formed the New Kingdom of Granada.
