Shield Argent, a cogwheel Gules flanked by two branches of olive Vert fruited Sable, in central chief a cardinal's hat Sable with two tassels, in base a grapevine Or leaved Vert. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials: "PRIOR VELHO - LOURES".
Meaning
The hat is a canting element (Prior Velho = old priory). The olive branches refer to the former olive groves in the commune, of which only a few trees remained. The cogwheel is symbolizing the many local industries. The grapevine refers to the local vinery Quinta da Françelha.

The flag and arms were officially granted on 29 April 1999.
