EL LLOAR

Region : Catalonia
Province : Tarragona

Official blazon

Escut caironat truncat: al 1r, d'or, una espasa flamejada de gules guarnida d'atzur; i al 2n, d'atzur, una mitra d'argent embellida d'or i amb les ínfules també d'or ressaltant sobre una creu processional i un bàcul de bisbe d'or passats en sautor, la creu en banda i el bàcul en barra. Per timbre, una corona mural de poble.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on November 18, 1987.

The flaming sword is the attribute of St. Michael, the local patron saint. The mitre, cross and staff in the 2nd partition refer to the fact that the village belonged to the barony of Cabacés, a property of the bishop of Tortosa.
