Origin/meaning

These arms have been officially granted on 7th July 1987.

The arms are canting: they show a mount with a royal crown, an allusion to the etymology of the village, meaning "royal hill". Puig-reig was the centre of a Templar command (1187-1312); later the command passed to the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, until 1805; this is reflected on the arms by the Cross of Malta. Finally, the arms of Catalonia-Aragon (four pales Gules on Or) allude to the royal jurisdiction over the village, that originally belonged to the viscounts of Berga, and later to the counts of Barcelona.
