About the Flag

It is a typical Portuguese communal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a plain yellow field.
Klaus-Michael Schneider, 1 Nov 2015

Coat of arms

Shield Purpure, a plough Argent at dexter and a hammer Argent at sinister, in base an anvil Or, in chief a tower Or with port Sable and windows Gules. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials "SANTA BÁRBARA - ANGRA DO HEROÍSMO".
Meaning:
The tower is an attribute of Sta. Barbara, the local patron saint. Anvil and hammer are probably alluding to skilled crafts, like blacksmiths, the plough to agriculture.
