A typical Portuguese municipal flag, with the coat of arms centred on plain green background.
António Martins-Tuválkin, 4 Oct 2006
Meaning:
As far as I can guess, these arms refer to heritage and landscape features and to local agricultural production.
António Martins-Tuválkin, 4 Oct 2006
Plain (monocoloured) portuguese subnational flags are not allowed to have variations without arms: plain flags always carry the coat of arms.
Jorge Candeias, 18 July 1999
Coat of arms and flag approved by law and published in the official journal _Diário do Governo, II Série_ of 1951.07.05.
Tarouca municipality had 8303 inhabitants in 2000, and it is divided in 10 communes, covering 100,1 km². It belongs to the Viseu District, to the traditional province Beira Alta, to the would be administrative region Beira Litoral, and to the current NUT2/CCR region Centro.
