Region : Catalonia

District (Comarca) : Segriá
Official blason
Cortado y medio partido: 1º de sinople, un gallo cantando de oro; 2º de gules, ocho bezantes de oro puestos en dos palos; 3º de oro, los cuatro palos de gules. Al timbre, corona de marqués.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on May 30, 1996.
The arms of Aitona (in Segrià) show a rooster (a traditional element derived from the old local seals), the golden bezants of the Montcada family (owners of the Marquesat d'Aitona) and the arms of Catalunya/Aragon. The rooster is also explained by a legend, according to it, the village was alerted by all roosters singing together of a Muslim attack, and thus the village was saved.
