Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on September 4, 1995.
Tortosa developed in the Iberian times on a hill, later conquered by the Romans (that founded the city of Dertosa) and the Arabs, who built the castle of La Suda. During the Muslim domination (713-1148), it was the chief town of a large kingdom in the Caliphate of Cordova. Tortosa was conquered by Ramon Berenguer IV, count of Barcelona, that granted the city to those who had aided him in the conquest: the knight Guillem Ramon de Montcada, the Republic of Genoa and the Templars; the count entitled himself as marquis of Tortosa.
Traditionally, the arms of Tortosa show since the 13th century a tower Argent on Gules (canting arms: the tower is a "torre" in Catalan). Later they included the marquis crown and the palms.
