Moreiras Commune

Flag

It is a typical Portuguese communal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a plain field of yet unknown colour.
António Martins-Tuválkin, 15 May 2024

Coat of Arms

Shield Azure a bend sinister Argent cobbled Sable, on dexter chief a 5-point star Or and on sinister base a mulberry twig Argent fruited Or. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) ""
Meaning:
The word "moreiras" means "mulberry trees" and therefore these arms are partly canting if the twig is indeed mulberry and nor of some other tree.
