About the Flag

It is a typical Portuguese communal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a field quartered of green and white.
Klaus-Michael Schneider, 3 Sep 2015

Shield Or, a sinister bendy branch of olive fruited Sable, accompanied in dexter chief by an inescutcheon Azure charged with 13 plates ordered 2:3:2:3:2:1; in sinister base three wheat ears Or tied Gules. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials "FREGUESIA DE OURIQUE".
Meaning:
The inescutcheon is the shield of Portuguese kings in the 12th century. The other charges probably refer to the rural character of the commune.
Klaus-Michael Schneider, 3 Sep 2015

The only difference was the inscription of the scroll, simply being: "OURIQUE"

Flag and arms published in the official journal Diário da República: III Série on 8 March 2001, the former symbols on 11 July 1995
