Official blazon

Escut caironat: d'atzur, una mitra d'argent embellida d'or, en barra, i per damunt d'un bàcul de bisbe d'or, en banda. Per timbre, una corona de poble.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on June 10, 2009.

The mitre is the symbol of the local patron saint, St. Martin of Tours. Before 2009 the town used unofficial arms with the complete depiction of the saint.
