S-agusti.jpg

Official blazon

Escut caironat partit: 1r d'or; 2n de gules; ressaltant sobre el tot 2 plomes d'au passades en sautor de l'una en l'altra. Per timbre, una corona mural de poble.

Origin/meaning

These arms have been officially granted on 9th August 2000.

The two feathers are the attribute of St. Augustine, the local patron saint, that was a famous writer of sermons, commentaries about the Scripture... a real master of rhetoric. The colours of the arms, Or and Gules, are taken from the arms of the barons of Lluçà, the lords of the village.
