BLAZON

DISCRIPTION

Three golden thistles in inverted triangle formation in red background


THEME

In some ancient blazon of the Folch family is written around the shield, the phrase in catalonian language which says "hay de tu si amb tocas que et puncharas" which means,  what a pity of you if you touch me cause youŽll get prick with my thorns, Thus making an analogy of the thistle (cardos) which is a thorny plant abundant in the mediterranean areas, in which the city name of Cardona is derived.
