Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on June 25, 1993.

Canting arms: they show traditionally a "maça" (Catalan for "mallet"). The castle of Maçanet belonged to the barony of Cabrenys, that in 1313 passed to the Rocabertí family. The two other elements in the arms refer to these two families: the goat for Cabrenys, and the chess-rook for Rocabertí.
