About the Flag

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

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.
