About the Flag

It is a slighty atypical Portuguese municipal flag, with the coat of arms centred on plain yellow background.

Coat of arms

image by Sérgio Horta, 18 July 2007

The arms are Gules a castle Or masoned Sable between two grapevines Vert fruited Purpure set in pale. Mural crown argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "NOTÁVEL VILA DE CASTELO DE VIDE".
Meaning:
The honour augmentation "notável" ("noteworthy") added to the usual scroll text was given for the town's role during the Napoleonic invasions. "Castelo de vide" means "grapevine castle", thus the arms a fully canting.
