Origin/meaning

Canting arms: they show, duplicated, a fig-tree leave (in fact, Catalan "figueres" means literally "fig-trees") and the royal arms of Catalonia-Aragon (four red pales in gold). Figueres was given its chart from the king Jaume I, and became a royal town (1267). In 1875 it was conceded the title of city.
