AVINYONET DE PUIGVENTÓS
Region : Catalonia
Province : Girona
Official blazon
Escut caironat: d'argent, un sarment de vinya pampolat de sinople i fruitat d'un raïm de porpra; el peu de gules, una creu plena d'argent. Per timbre una corona mural de poble.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on July 5, 1984.
Canting arms: they show a grape because the name of the village reminds a "vinya" (Catalan for "vineyard"). The silver cross on gules is the Hospitaller Cross; in fact, Avinyonet was the centre of a command of the Order of the Saint John of Jerusalem in 1257.
