MALDÀ
Province : Lleida
Origin/meaning:
Canting arms: they show a "mà" (Catalan for "hand") on a hill; in fact Maldà is on a hill where the ancient castle stands. The village has been the centre of the medieval barony of Maldà i Maldanell (11th century); this is the reason of the baron's crown at the top of the arms.
