About the Flag

It is a fairly typical Portuguese municipal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a white and black background quarterly (town rank).
António Martins-Tuválkin, 22 Feb 2007

The arms are Azure above a mound Argent enhanced Sable issuant from the base and charged with wavy fess of the field an eagle Argent displayed and looking at a sun Or in center chief. Mural crown argent with four visible towers (town status) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "Pedrógão Grande". "Pedrógão" is a cognate of "_pedra" (= "stone") and an archaism for "crag", which makes the stony hill issuant from the base on the coat of arms a canting element.

Flag and coat of arms adopted and published in the official journal Diário do Governo : II Série in 1953.05.09.
