Official blazon

Escut caironat partit: 1r d'argent, 2n de porpra; ressalta sobre el tot una torre torrejada i oberta de l'un en l'altre. Per timbre, una corona mural de poble.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on August 9, 2000.

Canting arms: they show traditionally a towered tower ("torre" in Catalan). Actually, in the middle of the village there are still the remains of a former defence tower, the Torre del Rafolí, built originally by the Muslims.
