Summary

Description
English: In the upper left part it shows the figure of a flying insect well known for its industriousness: the bee, which symbolizes the work and active vocation of the Las Tunas people. This area is blue in color like the sea that surrounds us, the sky that protects us and three stripes of the National Flag of Cuba.

In the upper right part of the shield from Las Tunas is the image of a key, which represents the geographical position that Las Tunas occupies on the Cuban map, between the legendary Camagüey and the indomitable East. The barracks has a red background, like the triangle of the Enseña patria, in remembrance of the blood shed by the independence fighters in their bloody struggles for freedom. The lower left part includes the image of a ceiba tree, the tree that sheltered those who fought for the independence of the country and around which the city was founded. This symbol of the native flora is inserted within a context of green tones, very recurrent in the rural landscape of the territory.In the lower right part of the shield of Las Tunas appear the ruins of the barracks of the 28 columns, former military bastion of Spanish colonialism in the city, (today a Primary School), which symbolizes the defeat of the Iberian hosts in the area.

There is also an image of a woman, whose participation in our struggles is recognized by historiography. In addition, a bonfire, a symbol of the times the city was burned in a holocaust for freedom. The plant called prickly pear is a suggestion as to why this region is called that.

Español: "En la parte superior derecha del escudo tunero está la imagen de una llave, que representa la posición geográfica que ocupa Las Tunas en el mapa cubano, entre el legendario Camagüey y el indómito Oriente. El cuartel tiene fondo rojo, como el triángulo de la Enseña patria, en recordación a la sangre derramada por los independentistas en sus cruentas luchas por la libertad.

La parte inferior izquierda recoge la imagen de una ceiba, el árbol que cobijó a quienes combatieron por la independencia de la Patria y alrededor del cual se fundó la ciudad. Este símbolo de la flora autóctona se encuentra insertado dentro de un contexto de tonalidades verdes, muy recurrente en el panorama rural del territorio.

En la parte inferior derecha del escudo de Las Tunas aparecen las ruinas del cuartel de las 28 columnas, antiguo bastión militar del colonialismo español en la ciudad, (hoy una escuela de Enseñanza Primaria), que simboliza la derrota de las huestes ibéricas en la zona.

También figura la imagen de una mujer, cuya participación en nuestras luchas es reconocida por la historiografía. Además, una hoguera, símbolo de las veces que fue quemada la ciudad en holocausto a la libertad. La planta llamada tuna es una sugerencia acerca de porqué se llama así a esta comarca."
