CALONGE
Region : Catalonia
Province : Girona
Official blazon
Escut caironat truncat i semipartit: al 1r. d'argent, una col de caluix llarg arrencada de sinople; al 2n. d'atzur, un roc d'or; 3r. d'or, 4 pals de gules. Per timbre una corona de baró.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on September 28, 1984.
Canting arms: they show traditionally a "col" (Catalan for "cabbage"), because the popular pronunciation of the town is "Colonge". Calonge became the centre of a barony in the 15th century: the golden chess-rook on azure is taken from the arms of the Requesens family, barons of the town. There is also the baron crown at the top. Finally there are the royal arms of Catalonia-Aragon, four red pales on gold.
