Origin/meaning

These arms have been officially granted on 15th April 1982.

The local castle (10th century) has been the centre of the barony of Voltregà until the 19th century; the castle belonged to several families (Voltregà, Orís, Cabrera) until 1379, when it passed to the bishops of Vic. The arms show a mitre and the keys of St. Peter (reminding the bishops of Sant Pere de Vic), the canting arms of the Cabreras (a goat, "cabra" in Catalan), the baron's crown and a bishop's staff.
