Region : Catalonia

Official blazon
Escut caironat: de gules, un món creuat d'or cintrat d'atzur, acompanyat d'un brau de sable al cap, d'una mitra d'argent franjada d'or a la destra i d'un bàcul de bisbe d'or posat en pal a la sinistra. Per timbre una corona mural de poble.
Origin/meaning
Canting arms: they show a "món" (Catalan for "royal mound"). The elements around (bull, mitre and staff) are the attributes of the local patron saint, St. Saturnine, a bishop of Toulouse that, according to the tradition, was martyred being trailed along the ground by a bull.
