SANT HIPÒLIT DE VOLTREGÀ
Region : Catalonia
Province : Barcelona
Official blazon
Escut caironat partit: al 1r. de la mitra de Vic (d'atzur, les claus de Sant Pere passades en sautor, amb les dents a dalt i mirant cap enfora, la d'or en banda sobre la d'argent creuada d'or i amb les ínfules també d'or); i al 2n, les armes dels Cabrera castlans de Voltregà (d'or, una cabra arrestada de sable). L'escut acoblat d'un bàcul de bisbe d'or posat en pal, i timbrat amb la corona de baró.
Origin/meaning
These arms have been officially granted on 15th April 1982.
The local castle (10th century) has been the centre of the barony of Voltregà until the 19th century; the castle belonged to several families (Voltregà, Orís, Cabrera) until 1379, when it passed to the bishops of Vic. The arms show a mitre and the keys of St. Peter (reminding the bishops of Sant Pere de Vic), the canting arms of the Cabreras (a goat, "cabra" in Catalan), the baron's crown and a bishop's staff.
