Former coat of arms of Puebla.
The first coat of arms of the State of Puebla was that of the capital city, granted by Royal Document (Cedula Real) on July 20, 1538. The coat of arms a green shield bearing a five-tower fortress in gold, and two angels hold the fortress, one by side, cloth on white. Above right there is a "K" for Karolus (Charles) and a "V" for "Fifth": Charles V King of Spain. The two letter are in gold. Below the fortress a blue river. Over the red border a text reads: "Angelis Suis Deus de te ut custodiant te in omnibus viis tuis", that translated means: "God command his angels take care of you in all your paths". A text so close to that found in Psal 91, 11-12 and Mathew 4, 6. It is still the coat of arms of the city of Puebla de Zaragoza, formerly called Puebla de los Angeles.
