Escut caironat: d'or, un dextrogir vestit empunyant una espasa de sable, acompanyat a la punta d'un cor de gules. Per timbre una corona mural de poble.
Origin/meaning
The arm handing a sword and the heart are traditional signs on the arms of the village; they might be an allusion to the local patron saint, St. Bartholomew, who was martyred being flayed and beheaded. The arms have been officially granted on 20th February 1987.
