The traditional arms of Tarragona (not official, but widely used by the local council) have been ever since the wavy pales Gules on Or; despite the number of pales has been variable, since the 17<sup>th</sup> century they have been established in four (some opinions say that they are derived from the royal arms of Catalonia-Aragon, four pales Gules on Or). During Franco's Dictatorship period (1939-75), the arms changed their colours in Azure and Argent, as shown below in an old post stamp, and at present they have taken back their traditional Gules and Or colours. | The traditional arms of Tarragona (not official, but widely used by the local council) have been ever since the wavy pales Gules on Or; despite the number of pales has been variable, since the 17<sup>th</sup> century they have been established in four (some opinions say that they are derived from the royal arms of Catalonia-Aragon, four pales Gules on Or).
