Region : Catalonia
Province : Barcelona
Official blazon
Escut caironat: d'argent, un mont de 3 cims, amb el central més alt que els laterals, terrassat de sinople i carregat d'una vila d'or; el peu d'or amb una barjoleta de gules sobremuntada d'una pinya de sinople. Per timbre, una corona mural de poble.
Origin/meaning
These arms have been officially granted on 11th November 1983.
The arms show an image of the village itself, around the church of Sant Joan. At the bottom, the mountains of Pic-en-Cel. Vilada belonged, since the 14th century, to the barons of La Portella (symbolized by their arms, a pouch) and later to the Pinós family (represented by the pine cone).
