Origin/meaning

These arms have been officially granted on 4th August 1986.

The arms show the traditional Pont Vell (or Old Bridge) over the river Ter, with the two churches situated at each end, Santa Maria del Cap de Pont and Santa Maria del Sòl del Pont. The waterwheel is a canting element: a wheel is named "roda" in Catalan. These arms have been officially granted on 4th August 1986.
