PACS DEL PENEDÈS
Region : Catalonia
Province : Barcelona
Official blazon
Escut caironat: d'argent, una ploma d'ocell per a escriure de sable i una palma de gules passades en sautor enfilant una corona de llorer de sinople; el peu d'or, 4 pals de gules. Per timbre una corona mural de poble.
Origin/meaning
These arms have been officially granted on 15th March 1984.
The arms show the attributes of St. Genís (Genesius), the local patron saint: a laurel wreath and a palm, as a martyr, and a bird feather, as he was a notary. The royal arms of Catalonia-Aragon (four pales Gules on Or) allude to the fact that Pacs was a royal village.
