Origin/meaning

These arms have been officially granted on 11th November 1983.

The arms show an image of the village itself, around the church of Sant Joan. At the bottom, the mountains of Pic-en-Cel. Vilada belonged, since the 14^th century, to the barons of La Portella (symbolized by their arms, a pouch) and later to the Pinós family (represented by the pine cone).
