Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on January 3, 2012.
The lobster (llagosta) is a canting symbol, which has been used by the town for a very long time. The castle is Llagostera Castle, which was the seat of a barony from the 14th until the 19th century.
Using a marine lobster has led to some controversy in the town, which is located far away from the coast.
The city council previously used a shield with the pales of Catalonia, the castle and with a lake or pond in the base, indicating that the name is derived from the Latin Lacus (lake). See on the image below where it is used on a street name (2012):
