About the Flag

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

António Martins-Tuválkin,

The coat of arms is argent, a tree (cork oak?) proper (see below) between two fleurs de lis gules (but see bellow). Mural crown Argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "VILA DE AZAMBUJA".
António Martins-Tuválkin, 12 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

Variating deptictions of “proper”

There are several reported ways to render the «tree proper».
António Martins-Tuválkin, 12 Aug 1999

Yellow fleur-de-lis variant

The fleurs de lis sometimes are rendered in golden
António Martins-Tuválkin, 12 Aug 1999
