About the Flag

It is a quite typical Portuguese municipal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a background quartered (town rank) of white and red.

António Martins-Tuválkin, 21 Mar 1999

The coat of arms is sable, a two storey castle tower argent, with port and windows gules, under a Maltese cross and between two ears of wheat, all of the first, by a river of three wavy fesses, argent and azure. The tower is confimedly a two-level-tower (torre torreada) Mural crown argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "VILA DE SERNANCELHE" (left image) or "CONCELHO DE SERNANCELHE" (right image), though this may vary in practice, as usual.

Flag and coat of arms adopted and published in the official journal Diário do Governo : I Série in 1937.04.10.
