About the Flag

It is a typical Portuguese communal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a plain field.

Coat of arms

Shield Gules with base Vert crowned by an embattled tower Or masoned Sable with port and windows Sable flanked by four trees Proper (two at either side), in chief three necklaces Or ordered per fess. Mural crown Argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials: "VILA DE COLARES" ""
Meaning:
The necklaces are said having been a pawn for the real estates, which had been acquired from the Moorish King Zeilão for Lady de Compa, a countess of German origin. Furthermore they are canting elements (Port.: colar (= necklace)). The tower is alluding to a former local castle, later on a palace but now in ruins. The trees and the green base are symbolizing the fertility of the region.
