About the Flag

It is a fairly typical Portuguese municipal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a field quartered of yellow and green.
António Martins-Tuválkin, 27 Jan 2007

The arms are Gules, between two fleur-d- lis Or a laurel tree Vert garnished Sable and fruited Or and issuant from a base of the same, under a crescent Argent in dexter chief and a sun Or in sinister chief. Mural crown Argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "VILA DA LOURINHÃ". Meaning:
Laurel trees are the most abundant native species of trees in the area and was already depicted on the oldest arms of the village. The fleur-de-lis are taken from the arms of Dom Jordão, the first benefactor of Lourinhã.
