Official blazon

Escut caironat: d'or, un castell d'atzur obert sobremuntat d'una àncora de porpra. Per timbre una corona mural de poble.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on May 26, 2000.

The arms of this little village show the local castle (13th century, now in ruins) and an anchor, being the symbol of St. Clement, the local patron saint.

The castle was in the municipal seals from 1789 to 1816, and the patron saint Clement was in them from 1876.
