A flag with seven vertical stripes red-yellow-red-yellow-red-yellow-red. On each yellow stripe, three blue chessrooks. Thus a banner of arms of the Marquises of Rocabertí, former city lords, and also the sinister half of the city arms, as it appears in the Catalan Vexillological Association website.
