Logo: On white field there is a green aqueduct with four archs, flanked by two green, embattled towers, beneath the left arch is a green fountain.
Meaning:
The fountain is taken from the former Falagueira arms. Two embattled towers, slightly different had been common elements in the arms of both former communes. The aqueduct is a new element.
