Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on September 28, 1984.

The arms are the ones of the Castellcir family, the landlords of the village. They are canting: they show a "castell" (Catalan for "castle"). Castellcir has an ancient castle on a rock, named Castell de la Popa, built in the 10^th century.
