Coat of arms

[Vila Nova de Cerveira municipality CoA]

image by Klaus-Michael Schneider, 8 Aug 2014

The arms are vert, a stag or crowned with an inescutcheon charged with five bezants argent set in quincunx. Mural crown argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "VILA NOVA DE CERVEIRA".
Meaning:
A beautiful flag for a charming town, I say. Canting arms, since "cerveira" means "place of stags" ("cervo" = "stag").
António Martins-Tuválkin, 8 Aug 1999

Flag and arms were approved on 16 February 1972
António Martins-Tuválkin, 8 Aug 1999

Version without Coat of Arms

Plain (monocoloured) Portuguese subnational flags are not allowed to have variations without arms: plain flags always carry the coat of arms.
Jorge Candeias, 18 July 1999
