Catalonia is part of Spain, but it has its own unique culture, including its own language, Catalan. The name of the region in Catalan is Catalunya. The coat of arms comes from the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Aragon and is known as the "red bars" or the "four bars." It is one of the oldest coats of arms in Europe. The symbol actually predates the development of heraldry. It appears on the tombs of the Counts of Barcelona from the eleventh century and was later adopted by the Kings of Aragon. Today, in addition to representing the region of Catalonia, it has been integrated other coats of arms as well, including the coat of arms of Spain and the coat of arms of Andorra.
