Coat of arms

São Domingos de Ana Loura[ commune CoA] image by Klaus-Michael Schneider, 10 Nov 2014

Shield Argent a watermill's wheel Gules, in central chief a cross fleury Vert, flanked by two stomps ancient columns Azure, a base wavy of Azure and Argent. Mural crown with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "S. DOMINGOS DE ANA LOURA".
Meaning:
The cross is alluding to the Avis Order. The base wavy is symbolizing sweetwater , i.e. a local creek or river. I have no idea about the columns.
