Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black capitals "MOSTEIRO - LAJES DAS FLORES".
Meaning:
The bells are representing a monastery (Port.: mosteiro) and are thus punning, their number refers to the two former villages forming the municipality. The cow is symbolising agriculture, especially rearing of livestock. The base with green waves is symbolising the Atlantic.
