Coat of arms

The coat of arms is argent, a tree (cork oak?) proper (see below) between two fleurs de lis gules (but see bellow). Mural crown Argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "VILA DE AZAMBUJA".
António Martins-Tuválkin, 12 Aug 1999

Version without Coat of Arms

Plain (monocoloured) Portuguese subnational flags are not allowed to have variations without arms: plain flags always carry the coat of arms.
