Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on June 14, 1994.
The corn cobs and the hammer symbolise the main idustries in the parish, agriculture and stone masonry. The old Roman bridge refers to the Roman settlement of Castrum Quiffiones, and thus the long history of the village.
The green shield symbolises the fertile fields in the municipality
