GUISSONA
Region : Catalonia
Province : Lleida
Official blazon
Escut caironat: d'or, tres faixes ondades abaixades d'atzur acompanyades al cap d'una creu grega patent de sable. Per timbre una corona mural de vila.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on June 1, 1983.
Guissona is considered "the spring of La Segarra", a mostly dry area. The three wavy blue bars mean the main local fountains (formerly they were four), and the golden colour of the arms is related to the dryness of the ground. The town (the ancient Ieso during the Roman times) was reconquered from the Moors by the bishops of Urgell in 1024, and ever since the Church has had a remarkable importance; the black cross in the arms refers to St. Mary, the patron saint, and also to the collegiate church of Santa Maria de Guissona.
