BENAVENT DE SEGRIÀ
Region : Catalonia
Province : Lleida
Official blazon
Escut caironat: de gules, un molí de vent d'argent tancat de sable i aspat d'or. Per timbre una corona de marquès.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on June 8, 1995.
These arms are canting: the windmill is a sign that alludes to the name of the village ("vent" is wind in Catalan). The marquis crown refers to the fact that Benavent became the centre of a marquisat in 1702.
