These arms are canting: they show a "pont" (Catalan for "bridge"). In fact, the ancient bridge of Bar (11<sup>th</sup> century) had only one arch, and it was carried down by a flood of the river Segre in November 1982; the five arches of the bridge shown in the arms symbolize Aristot, Els Banys de Sant Vicenç, Bar, Castellnou de Carcolze and Toloriu, the five main villages in the Pyrenean municipality, created in 1970 by the union of the previous ones of Aristot and Toloriu.
