BALSARENY
Region : Catalonia
Province : Barcelona
Official blazon
Escut caironat: d'argent, un riu d'atzur en forma de cinta ondada sostenint un mont de sable somat d'un castell obert de sinople, i acompanyat d'un lleó de gules coronat a l'antiga d'or i armat de sable a cada costat. Per timbre una corona de baró.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on April 21, 1983.
The arms show the castle of Balsareny, on a hill near the river Llobregat. The village was the centre of a barony (note the baron crown at the top), that was bought in 1281 by Ramon de Peguera (the arms of the Peguera family, a crowned red lion on silver, appear here twice at both sides of the castle).
