Origin/meaning

These arms have been officially granted on 25th October 1984.

Canting arms: they show a wolf, reminding the ancient name of the village until the 15^th century, Vulpelleres (derived from Latin "vulpes", wolf). Above, there is a saw, because Sasserra means in ancient Catalan "the saw" (and, at the same time, "the mountain range", what is the real meaning in this case: the village is placed at the north side of the Serra del Corredor).
