The arms are canting: they show a mount with a royal crown, an allusion to the etymology of the village, meaning "royal hill". Puig-reig was the centre of a Templar command (1187-1312); later the command passed to the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, until 1805; this is reflected on the arms by the Cross of Malta.
