Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on February 25, 1997.
The arms are canting; the two "borges" (Catalan for "huts") and the two trees (an allusion to the "camp", Catalan for "country") are separated by the Riera d'Alforja, the torrent that flows near the town. In the middle there is a Tau Cross, or Cross of Santa Tecla (the patron saint of Tarragona), related to the fact that Les Borges del Camp belonged to the archbishops of Tarragona, the regional centre nearby.
