Province : Girona
Official blazon
Escut caironat: de porpra, un sautor ple de gules ribetat d'argent, acompanyat al cap d'una mitra d'argent embellida d'or. Per timbre, una corona mural de poble.
Origin/meaning
These arms have been officially granted on 7th October 1997.
The arms show the saltire or cross of St. Eulalia, the local patron saint. The village belonged to the castle of Rupià, and in the 13th century it was bought by the bishop of Girona: the mitre on the arms allude to this jurisdiction.
