Official blazon
Un scut triunghiular cu marginile rotunjite, tăiat. În partea superioară, pe fond argintiu, se află un porumbel albastru cu o ramură în cioc, aflat între două vase romane de culoare roșie; ramura se termină în mâner de spadă în formă de cruce. În vârful scutului, pe fond albastru, se află stilizat capul zeiței Junona, de aur. Scutul este trimbrat de o coroană murală de argint cu un turn crenelat.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on February 7, 2007.
The pigeon is a symbol of the desire for peace and harmonious coexistence between the inhabitants. The cross-shaped end of the branch reminds of the old name of the locality, respectively Sancta Cruce, documented in 1332.
The two vessels with identical shapes reproduce a valuable archeological piece from ceramics, from the Roman period.
The head of the goddess Junoa, protector of the family and reconciliation between ethnic groups (Matronalia), signifies an ancient archaeological vestige.
The mural crown with a crenellated tower means that the locality has the rank of commune.
