Origin/meaning
These arms have been officially granted on 14th June 1988.
The local castle (9th century, rebuilt in the 14th century, and enlarged in a Renaissance way in the 19th century), now turned into a famous casino, was the centre of the county of Peralada. This county, formerly linked to the county of Empúries (one of the founding counties of Catalonia), was granted in 1599 to Francesc Jofre de Rocabertí. The arms of the town show traditionally a cross Azure on Argent and the canting arms of the Rocabertís: three pales Or on Gules, charged with chess rooks ("rocs" in Catalan) Azure. At the top of the arms there is a count crown.
