Purpure, a castle triple-towered Or, port and windows Azure, masoned Sable; on a chief Azure, a cross patty Or, between two escallops Argent.

Escudo de púrpura, un castillo de oro, aclarado de azur, mazonado de sable; un jefe de azur, cargado de una cruz patada de oro acompañada de dos veneras de plata.

Coat of arms interpreted with: a semicircular (round) base; the field and the chief watercolored in the flat tinctures Purpure and Azure; and the charges illuminated, outlined in Sable, with a very hammered metal finish.

Although it is a university of recent creation, in 1994, its best-known campus is the so-called Hospital del Rey, located on the edge of the Way of St. James and originally intended to care for pilgrims and founded, in 1195, by Alfonso VIII of Castile and Eleanor Plantagenet. The effigies of both monarchs decorate the main gate of the Hospital, called the Gate of the Pilgrims, which is, in turn, the symbol of the University of Burgos.

Regarding the escallop (venera), [Valero de Bernabé, L.; Márquez de la Plata, V. M.; 2003; page 197] notes that among the wide variety of shells, it is the scallop or pilgrim’s shell that is most used in heraldry and in blazons it is named «venera», and that it is drawn with its concave side against the field and its convex side visible, with its ribs vertical and its ears (auricles) toward the chief of the shield, and that when the concave side is shown one must specify it in the blazon as «alzada», and when the ears are in a different tincture it is said «orejada», for example, «an escallop Or, its ears Gules».

Arms [ Tierced per fess: 1 Sable, seven mullets Argent arranged as the Plough of Ursa Major; 2 Azure; 3 Sanguine, a demi-sun issuant from base Or ]; Badge [ Azure, an escallop Or environed by ribbons Sanguine doubled Or ]; Motto, 1^st line [ «Incipit Vita» Or over a scroll bendwise Sanguine ]; Crest [ Or, upon a wreath Or and Sanguine, a raven proper ]; Motto, 2^nd line [ «Nova» Or over a scroll bendwise Sanguine ]; Badge [ Azure, an escallop Or environed by ribbons Sanguine doubled Or ]; Fringes: Or and Sanguine.

Heraldic device depicted by me, highlighted with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, and with a leather finish.

Heraldic standard of Marcio Vieira Nastri emblazoned by me. Structure: his coat of arms; his heraldic badge; the 1^st line of his motto «Incipit Vita»; his crest; the 2^nd line of his motto «Nova»; and his badge. I usually do not blazon standards; I only describe their structure, since the coat of arms, the badge, and the crest they normally bear are already known as those of the armiger. However, in this case I have blazoned the standard with details from the hoist to the fly. The hoist is the part attached to the mast, and the fly is the part that waves freely and in this case ends in a swallow-tail, although this is an artistic detail I have not blazoned. For the specification of this blazon I use brackets for each of the parts, for example, the blazon of the arms, the blazon of the badge, or the blazon of the crest. In this case I have repeated the blazon of the second occurrence of the badge, but I could have avoided it by referring back to the first. It is unusual to find such a detailed specification of a standard.
