About the Flag

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

Shield Azure, base wavy of Argent and Azure, crowned by a bridge issuant Argent masoned Sable, in central chief an orb Or garnished Sable. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials: "ESTORÃOS - PONTE DE LIMA".
Meaning:
The orb is an attribute of Jesus Christ as the Divine Saviour, the local patron saint. The base wavy probably is symbolizing river Estorãos. The bridge is a local Roman bridge crossing the little river.
