About the Flag

It is a fairly typical Portuguese municipal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a field quarterly (meaning town rank) of purple and yellow.
António Martins-Tuválkin, 6 Sep 2003

The coat of arms is sable three corn ears or leaved vert and tied gules on a bordure argent eight grape bunches purple leaved vert. Mural crown argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "VILA DE LOUSADA".
Meaning:
The toponym has to do with slate (lousa, in portuguese) but there is no trace of it on the arms.
António Martins-Tuválkin, 6 Sep 2003

Flag and arms were approved on 11 April 1939.
