Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on July 7, 1983.

Gelida was the centre of a barony (the crown at the top reminds this fact), ruled since the 9th century by the Cervelló family (whose canting arms, an azure deer or "cérvol" on gold, stand in the first partition), and bought in 1367 by the Barcelonese citizen Berenguer Bertran (whose arms with the gemelle stand in the second partition). The keys at the base are the attribute of St. Peter, the local patron saint.
