Escut caironat: de sinople, un castell d'or tancat de gules somat a un mont movent de la punta truncat: 1 d'argent una creu plena de gules, 2 d'or, 4 pals de gules. Per timbre una corona mural de poble.
Origin/meaning
Canting arms: they show a "mont" (Catalan for "mount") with the arms of Barcelona (the cross of St. George and the royal arms of Catalonia-Aragon, four red pales on gold), because the castle of Montornès (shown here on the mount) was sold in 1390 to the city of Barcelona, and became a "street of Barcelona" (see [[Ametlla del Vallès[[).
