The coat of arms of the Community of Madrid was adopted in 1983.

The field is crimson red with two yellow or golden castles with seven five-pointed white or silver stars on top, arranged four and three.

[1][2] The red field symbolizes historic Castile, of which Madrid had long been part, and the two castles represent the two Castilian communities and Madrid as their union.

The seven stars come from the coat of arms of the capital representing the constellation Ursa Major, which is visible from the city.

[4] An example of this achievement can still seen today on the front facade of Las Ventas Bullring.
