The coat of arms is sable three corn ears or leaved vert and tied gules on a bordure argent eight grape bunches purple leaved vert. Mural crown argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "VILA DE LOUSADA".
Meaning:
The toponym has to do with slate (lousa, in portuguese) but there is no trace of it on the arms.

Flag and arms were approved on 11 April 1939.
