Official blazon

Escut caironat: de sinople, una palma d'or posada en pal acostada de 3 claus de sable posats en pal a la destra i d'una creu de sant Pere de sable a la sinistra. Per timbre, una corona mural de poble.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on February 7, 1989.

This municipality was formed in 1971 when the former ones of Escaló, Unarre and Jou merged into a new one. The three elements are, respectively, the attributes of each local patron saint: the Christ's nails for St. Helena, the palm for St. Julian and the cross for St. Peter.
