Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on May 10, 1993.

La Cellera de Ter belonged to Anglès until 1788; in fact, the cross in the arms is related to the Anglès valley, or Valle Eclesiis in later Latin, that's "valley of churches". The two barrels at each side are canting elements that remind the name of the village: "celler" in Catalan is a cellar. The second partition shows the canting arms of the viscounts of Cabrera, landlords of the Anglès castle and, subsidiary, of La Cellera.
