Reverse description A tall, multi-tiered fortified tower or lighthouse rising from stylized waves, emitting radiating rays of light from its summit, flanked symmetrically by four wind-head or putto figures blowing gusts of cloud toward the structure, symbolizing the immovable steadfastness of the archbishopric against adversity. The composition evokes a classical impresa device. The circular Latin legend RESISTIT * MDXCIII * IMMOTA — meaning 'it resists, unmoved' — surrounds the central device within a rope border, with the Roman numeral date MDXCIII appearing at the base of the legend.
