Escut caironat: de sinople, una coloma d'argent acompanyada a la punta d'una riera en forma de faixa ondada d'argent. Per timbre una corona mural de poble.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on January 24, 1989.

The pigeon is the canting attribute of Santa Coloma, the local patron saint. The wavy bar refers to the Riera de Ger, the creek that crosses the village.
