It is a fairily typical portuguese municipal flag,
with the coat of arms centered on a plain
yellow background. These arms and flag were adopted upon the upgrade of the
municipality seat to city status in 1985.08.14 (though apparently not made
official yet) and are a trivial change of the former
arms.

not allowed to have armless
