Origin/meaning

These arms have been officially granted on 14th May 1997.

Seva belonged to the castle of El Brull, in the viscounty of Osona, until 1265, when it was bought by the bishop of Vic, that has owned the village until the 19^th century; this territory was administrated by the families Centelles and Alemany-Cruïlles-Vilademany. The arms remind the different lords of Seva: the bishops of Vic (the mitre), the Centelles (lozengy Or and Gules) and the Cruïlles (semé of crosslets Argent on Gules).
