Origin/meaning

These arms have been officially granted on 22th December 1992.

The saltire or cross of St. Eulalia is the attribute of the local patron saint. The colours Or and Vert are taken from the arms of the barony of El Papiol (granted in 1395 to Berenguer de Cortilles); the arms show also the baron's crown.
