Origin/meaning:
The crowned lion Or on Sable is a traditional sign of the arms of the village. Estamariu belonged to the viscounty of Castellbò, named Castell-lleó until mid 11th century (probably the arms of the village are taken from the canting ones of Castell-lleó, literally in Catalan "castle-lion"). The arms have been officially granted on 9th October 1992.
