About the Flag

It is a typical Portuguese communal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a plain red field.
Klaus-Michael Schneider, 16 Feb 2015

Coat of arms

Shield Or, divided by a bend chequered of Gules and argent, flanked by two cockades: red and blue in sinister chief and blue and white in dexter base. Mural crown with three visible towers (village rank)and white scroll reading in black initials: "ALMOSTER - SANTARÉM".
Meaning:
The bend is alluding to the Cistercian Order, which ran a monastery in the commune. The red and blue cockade is symbolizing the traditionalists, the blue and white one the constitutionalists. Both together are reminding on the battle of Almoster (18 February 1834), where the liberals, commanded by Marshal Saldanha defeated the absolutists commanded by General Lemos. Draft designed by José Bènard Guedes.
