GUILS DE CERDANYA
Region : Catalonia
Province : Girona
Official blazon
Escut caironat: de gules, un estel de 8 puntes acostat de 8 estels de 5 puntes d'or posades en orla. Per timbre una corona mural de poble.
Origin/meaning
The arms, officially granted on 9th March 1994.
The arms show an eight-pointed star surrounded by 8 five-pointed stars, an allusion to the protomartyr St. Stephen, the local patron saint; formerly the arms of the village had shown a fleur-de-lis. Guils has always belonged to a church: originally to Sant Martí del Canigó, later to the monastery of Santes Creus (14th-17th centuries), and finally to the incumbent community of Puigcerdà.
