Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on February 21, 1987.

Esterri is the centre of the Vall d'Àneu; the arms show this valley, with the canting golden straws ("palles" in Catalan) of the counts of Pallars, because the town was a dependency of the county. The black cross is the traditional sign of Esterri, and it's the symbol of St. Peter, the local patron saint.
