About the Flag

It is a fairly typical Portuguese municipal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a yellow field.
António Martins-Tuválkin,

The arms are gules, on a cross throughout azure fimbriated, the quarters covered by filigrane hearts or, a castle tower or. Mural crown argent with four visible towers (town rank) with white scroll reading "VILA DA PÓVOA DE LANHOSO" in black upper case letters.
António Martins-Tuválkin, 3 Oct 1998

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.
