Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on May 26, 2000.

The arms of this little village show the local castle (13^th century, now in ruins) and an anchor, being the symbol of St. Clement, the local patron saint.

The castle was in the municipal seals from 1789 to 1816, and the patron saint Clement was in them from 1876.
