Escut caironat semipartit i truncat: 1r de porpra, una espasa d'or en banda per damunt d'un bàcul de bisbe d'or en barra; 2n faixat d'or i de gules; 3r de sinople, una faixa ondada d'atzur rivetada d'argent. Per timbre, una corona de poble.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on September 5, 2012.
The arms show a crossed sword and crosier as symbols for St. Martin of Tours, the local patron saint. The second quarter shoes the bars taken from the arms of the Counts of Empúries, who owned the village for a long time. The base shows the Ter river.
