Former Freixial do Campo commune (until 2013)

I couldn't find any flag information.

Shield Argent, an ash tree eradicated Vert, in chief a cross fleury Vert flanked by two flax blossoms Azure seeded Or. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials "FREIXIAL DO CAMPO".
Meaning:
The ash (Port.: freixo) is a canting element. The cross is alluding to the Knights' Order of Avis.

It is a typical Portuguese communal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a plain white field.

Shield Vert, a rush Or eradicated and fruited of the same, in chief a sheep passant Argent between two olive branches Argent fruited Or. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials "JUNCAL DO CAMPO".
Meaning:
"Juncal" means "cane break", a humid area, where rushes (or canes) grow. The rush is thus canting.
