Spanish

Escudo en losange de ángulos rectos: de gules, un perro pasante de oro acompañado de una cruz de Malta en el jefe. Por timbre, una corona de villa. Origin/meaning The arms were granted on April 15, 1982. The arms are canting: they show a hound, that refers both to a "ca" (Catalan for "dog") and to the "caceres" (Catalan popular ethymology for "huntings"). The Cross of Malta appears because the town belonged to the Templar (and later Hospitaller ) command of Horta de Sant Joan.
