Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on January 17, 1997.

Three golden pine-cones on gules are the traditional arms of Argençola family, the landlords of the village. In 1702, Jeroni Rocabertí i Argençola became marquis of Argençola (this is the reason of the marquis crown at the top of the arms).
