BESALÚ
Region : Catalonia
Province : Girona
Official blazon
Escut caironat partit: 1r. de gules, una creu patriarcal d'or; 2n. d'or, 4 pals de gules. Per timbre una corona de comte.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on June 7, 1989.
The patriarchal cross is a traditional sign of Besalú, that was the centre of one of the former counties of Catalonia (because of that there is a count crown at the top). The four gules pales on gold are the royal sign of Catalonia-Aragon.
