The coat of arms is argent, a bundle
of wheat vert bounded gules above three wavy fesses azure. Mural crown
argent with four visible towers (town rank)
and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "VILA
DA GOLEGÃ".António Martins, 31 Jul 1999 and 22 Aug 1999
The wavy fesses may stand for the Tagus (Tejo) river.
António Martins, 31 Jul 1999
Version without the coat of arms
Plain (monocolored) portuguese subnational flags are
not allowed to have armless
variations: plain flags always carry the coat of arms.
Jorge Candeias, 18 Jul 1999
