About the Flag

It is a fairly typical Portuguese municipal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a field quarterly of yellow and green.

António Martins-Tuválkin, 14 Dec 2003

he coat of arms is Argent three immature indian corn cobs proper tied gules on a bordure Sable eight bees Or. Mural crown Argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "VILA DE MORA".
Meaning:
"Mora" (do not confuse with co-regional Moura, 300 km SSE) comes apparently from Latin "morus" (a kind of berry — "amora" in current Portuguese), of which there is none showing in the arms.
