Escut caironat: de gules, 2 claus passades en sautor amb les dents a dalt i mirant cap enfora, la d'or en banda per damunt de la d'argent en barra, acompanyades al cap d'un roc d'atzur perfilat d'or. Per timbre una corona de baró.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on April 28, 1993.
The keys of St. Peter are the attributes of the local patron saint, and the chess rook Azure fimbriated Or is taken from the canting arms of the Rocabertí family, the barons of Navata since 1249. The baron's crown at the top of the arms explains that the town was the centre of a barony.
