Origin/meaning

These arms are not official, but widely used by the local council.

Centre of a volcanic region, the city of Olot have had traditionally canting arms: they show an "alot" (a small wing in Catalan). The royal arms of Catalonia-Aragon (four pales Gules on Or) remind the privileges of reorganization and constitution of the municipal council, given by the king Martin I.
