Origin/meaning

These arms have been officially granted on 25th July 1991.

The little town of Talarn developed on a hill, around the former castle; it was an important fortified place, and the chief town of the area of Pallars in 1453. The arms show a wall, reminding the enclosure around the town (at present day there are some remains of it), and the royal arms of Catalonia-Aragon (four pales Gules on Or), alluding to the royal jurisdiction (in 1370 the right to have a fair and market was given by the king, and the town had a representation in the Catalan Parliament).
