Official blazon

Escut caironat: de gules, sembrat de creuetes d'argent; ressaltant sobre el tot una muralla torrejada de 2 torres d'or. Per timbre una corona mural de poble.

Origin/meaning

These arms have been officially granted on 25th February 1997.

The medieval walled enclosure is reminded on the arms by the towered wall; in fact, two towers have remained until now in the village. Regencós belonged to the Cruïlles family, barons of Peratallada; the canting arms of the Cruïlles (powdered with crosslets Argent on Gules) are shown here.
