Official blazon

Escut caironat: d'argent, un matapoll (tell) de sinople; el peu d'or, 4 pals de gules. Per timbre, una corona mural de vila.

Origin/meaning

These arms have been officially granted on 4th October 1996.

Canting arms: they show a lime tree ("tell" in Catalan). The town belonged to the Crown since the 14th century, and this is shown by the royal arms of Catalonia-Aragon (four pales Gules on Or) at the base.
