CERVERA
Region : Catalonia
Province : Lleida
Official blazon
Escut caironat quarterat en sautor: 1r. i 4t. d'argent, un cérvol de gules; 2n. i 3r. d'or, 4 pals de gules. Per timbre una corona de comte.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on April 25, 1990.
Cervera was the centre of a county, conceded by the king Pere III, the Ceremonious, in 1353. Because of that, the arms of the town show, duplicated, the red deer on silver (the arms of the counts, the Cerveras) and the four red pales on gold (the royal arms of Catalonia-Aragon). At the top there is a count crown.
The arms of the counts of Cervera (the red deer on silver) are canting: a deer is a "cérvol" in Catalan.
