Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on November 23, 1987.

Castellfollit de la Roca is a little town placed on an impressing basaltic rock. This is what the canting arms show: a "castell" (Catalan for "castle") on a "roc" (a chess-rook, that in Catalan arms stands normally for a rock). Castellfollit was an ancient feudal barony, and this is shown by the baron crown on top of the arms.
