Origin/meaning
Lleida is an old Catalan city, of Iberic origins (it was named Iltirda). In the Roman times it was known as Ilerda, under the Arab domination Larida, and in 1149 it was "liberated" by the counts of Barcelona and Urgell, Ramon Berenguer IV and Ermengol VI. One year later the count-king gave the municipal charter to the city, and in 1228 Lleida became a royal city under Jaume I; for this reason the arms show the royal arms of Catalonia-Aragon, four red pales on gold.
The three lily flowers are the distinctive sign of Lleida seals and coins since 13th century, and it's said that they are related to the fertility of its land, irrigated by the river Segre.
These arms are not official, but widely used by the local council.
