OLIVELLA
Region : Catalonia
Province : Barcelona
Official blazon
Escut caironat: de gules, una clau amb la dent a dalt i mirant cap enfora, i un bàcul de bisbe d'or passats en sautor, la clau en banda per damunt del bàcul en barra, cantonats al cap d'una creu patent d'argent. Per timbre una corona mural de poble.
Origin/meaning
The arms have been officially granted on 23th January 1992.
The key and the staff are the attributes of St. Peter (the local patron saint) as Heaven's gatekeeper and first bishop. The cross above is a traditional sign of the arms of the village; in fact, the ancient castle of Olivella (10th century) has been a possession of the bishops of Barcelona.
