Escut caironat: d'atzur, un muntant d'argent sobremuntat d'una flor de lis d'argent; el peu d'or, 4 pals de gules. Per timbre una corona mural de poble.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on May 29, 1997.
The crescent and the fleur-de-lis are one of the attributes of the Virgin Mary, the local patron saint, and the royal arms of Catalonia-Aragon (four red pales on gold) remind the jurisdiction of the count of Barcelona over the village.
