Origin/meaning

These arms have been officially granted on 12th July 1984.

The arms show the saltire or cross of St. Vincent, the local patron saint. The village belonged to the monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes, symolized by the keys of St. Peter and two canting wheels ("rodes" meaning wheels in Catalan).
