Official blazon

Escut caironat: d'or, 3 torres d'atzur obertes. Per timbre, una corona mural de poble.

Origin/meaning

These arms have been officially granted on 27th May 1982.

The arms are canting: they show traditionally three towers (Torrelles remind "little towers" in Catalan). These arms are taken from the Torrelles family, lords of the village, that was part of the barony of Cervelló, from whose arms the Torrelles took their colours Or and Azure.
