Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on 7th July 1987.

The arms show a cross of Burgundy and a royal crown; the former municipal seals used to have two crossed arrows instead of the cross, but they had however the crown. The castle of Creixell (11^th century) belonged to the bishops of Barcelona, and later to the monastery of Sant Pere de Casserres; in 1767 it passed to the Crown, that sold it to Salvador de Marc, a landlord from Reus.
