Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on April 15, 1982.

The cross is a traditional sign on the arms of Calafell; in fact, the church of the village is consecrated to the Holy Cross. The second partition shows the royal arms of Catalonia-Aragon (four pales Gules on Or) reminding the jurisdiction of the Catalan kings over the village.
