Official blazon

Escut caironat: d'argent, un coll de sinople movent de la punta sobremuntat d'una àncora de propra i d'una ganxa de raier de d'atzur passades en sautor, l'àncora en banda per damunt de la ganxa en barra. Per timbre una corona mural de poble.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on October 25, 1985.

Canting arms: they show a "coll" (Catalan for "mountain pass"). The anchor above is the symbol of St. Clement, the local patron saint, and there is too a raft hook, because the village is an important point in the fluvial transportation of wood along the river Segre.
