About the Flag

It is a fairly typical Portuguese municipal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a field quartered yellow and black (town rank).
António Martins-Tuválkin, 15 Dec 1998

The arms are argent, a castle sable with port and windows argent, a templar cross in the dexter chief and a Christ Order cross in the sinister. Mural crown with four towers and white scroll reading "VILA DE MOGADOURO" in black capitals.
Meaning:
The castle, as usual, stands for the local castle and the two crosses relate to the monk-warrior orders that own the region after the conquest (Templars and, later, Christ Knights).
António Martins-Tuválkin, 15 Dec 1998

Flag and arms were approved on 27 April 1935.
