The arms show the local castle (10^th century), that was the centre of a barony since the 13^th century; it belonged to the Cervelló family, represented here twice by their canting arms; a deer passant Azure on Or (a deer is named "cérvol" in Catalan). At the top of the arms, there is the baron's crown. T
