Origin/meaningOn the first partition there are the royal arms of Catalonia-Aragon (four pales Gules on Or); Manresa has been under the royal jurisdiction since the conquest against the Muslims made by the count-king Guifré el Pelós in the 9th century. On the second partition, the arms show the cross of Saint George, the traditional and distinctive sign of the city. These arms have been used, at least, since the 16th century.
