The flag features a device on a white background, with
two blue wavy stripes running out of phase (the bottom one is "W" and the top
one is "M"); these stand for the rivers Vouga and Douro.

When I visited Viseu last Spring, the District Government HQ
(Palácio do Governo Civil de Viseu) had this flag hoisted on
its main balcony pole, with no national flag along it (but the national flag
is expected to be flown only on Sundays and holidays).

This district has an area of 4954 km2, and a
population of 399 150 inhabitants as of 1990, living in
24 municipalities.

The central device might be a colored armorial seal (but the charges are
not those of the Viseu municipal arms), surrounded
by 24 six-pointed red stars, symbolizing the district’s municipalities.

The emblem depiction I have shows ogival windows (though the door has a
semi-circular arch) and the walls of the castle are masoned (i.e., the
lines between bricks are visible) in black. That doesn’t mean that
the image above is incorrect, as some variation is expected.
