Shield Argent on mound Vert with base wavy Argent charged with a barrulet wavy Azure a goat passant Argent, in chief three eradicated pine trees Vert in fess fruited Or. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case serifed letters "VILA VERDE - ALIJÓ".
Meaning:
The phrase "vila verde" means "green town"; the arms can therefore be said to be punning, for the proeminent use of the colour green (but then again, many of these flags are mostly green, with no toponymical reason for it).
