Escut caironat: d'or, un drac de sinople lampassat de gules acompanyat a la punta d'una faixa ondada d'argent ribetada d'atzur. Per timbre una corona mural de poble.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on November 23, 1995.

The dragon is the attribute of St. Margaret, the local patron saint. Below, the arms show the representation of the Gaià, the river that flows through the village.
