Origin/meaning
These arms have been officially granted on 24th May 1988.
The saltire is the attribute of St. Vincent, the local patron saint of Susqueda, the former chief town of this municipality; since 1967, the village is under the water of the Susqueda reservoir, in the river Ter. The second partition of the arms show a horseshoe and a sword, the attributes of St. Martin, the local patron saint of the new chief town, Sant Martí Sacalm.
