Origin/meaning

These arms have been officially granted on 19th May 1987.

This municipality is formed by two villages, Pedret and Marzà, the chief town. The arms show the castle of Marzà; Pedret is symbolized by the three stones above, an attribute of St. Stephen, the local patron saint, and a canting element too: they are called "pedres" in Catalan. The keys of St. Peter and the two wheels are a canting allusion to the monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes ("rodes" being "wheels" in Catalan), the lords of these villages since the 13th century.
