Former Ninho do Açor commune (until 2013)

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

Shield Gules, a tree eradicated Or crowned by a bird's nest, in chief a goshawk Proper. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials "NINHO DO AÇOR".
Meaning:
"Ninho do Açor" means "goshawk's nest", nest and bird are thus canting.
