About the Flag

It is a typical Portuguese communal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a plain white field.

Shield Vert, two windmill vanes Sable rigged Argent, in chief a dove Argent surrounded by rays Or, in base a cogwheel Or. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black initials: "MONSANTO - ALCANENA".
Meaning:
The dove is symbolizing the Holy Spirit, the patron of the local parish church. Windmill and cogwheel are symbolizing industries in past and present.
