(ro) Un scut triunghiular cu marginile laterale rotunjite, de culoare albastră. În scut se află palma dreaptă aşezată orizontal, ce susţine un butuc de viţă-de-vie de aur cu trei ciorchini roşii. Scutul este timbrat de o coroană murală de argint cu 5 turnuri crenelate.

The arms were officially granted on July 25, 2007.

The right palm placed horizontally signifies the local court, received as a privilege in the Medieval Age.

The vine symbolizes the viticultural richness of the area. These items were identified on an old seal dating from 1549.

The crown with 5 crenellated towers means that the locality has the rank of city.
