About the Flag

It is a fairly typical Portuguese municipal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a field gyronny of eight, blue and yellow (city rank)-.
António Martins-Tuválkin, 7 Mar 1999

Coat of arms

image by Sérgio Horta, 7 Mar 1999

The arms are Or, a castle Azure, with port and windows Or, with two pidgeons Argent, each perched on a lateral tower both facing the center of the shield, in chief the a cross patty Gules voided Argent. Mural crown Argent with five apparent towers (city rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "POMBAL".
Meaning:
The word "pombal" means "pigeon house" so here we have here some canting arms. The cross is alluding to the importance of the Order of Christ’s Knights.
António Martins-Tuválkin, 7 Mar 1999

Pombal was upgraded to a city and seat of a municipality on 16 August 1991.

Plain (monocoloured) Portuguese subnational flags are not allowed to have variations without arms: plain flags always carry the coat of arms.
