Escudo de Montferri/Arms of Montferri
Official blazon
Catalan Escut caironat: d'or, un mont creuat d'una creu patriarcal patent de sable. Per timbre una corona mural de poble

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on September 19, 2000.

This municipality was named Puigtinyós (literally "poor, wretched hill") until 1917, when it changed its official denomination by Montferri, the name of a little village nearby, now uninhabited. The arms, used since 1803, are canting: they show a black mount with a patriarchal cross.
