Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on December 27, 2000.

Foixà was the centre of a barony (in the 12th century); near the castle, in 1395, the king Joan I was dead by accident while he was hunting. The baron was promoted to count in 1866. The arms are the ones of the barons (later counts) of Foixà, and at the top there is the count's crown.
