[Conceição (Faro) commune (until 2013)] 2:3 image by Sérgio Horta, 16 Aug 2015

It is a typical Portuguese communal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a plain white field.
Klaus-Michael Schneider, 16 Aug 2015

Coat of arms

Shield Azure, in base a bucket elevator Argent garnished Sable, in centre a crescent recumbent Or topped by a 6-point star of the same and a royal coronet of the same. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials: "CONCEIÇÃO - FARO"
Meaning:
Crescent and star probably are attributes of Our Lady of Conception, the local patron saint. The bucket elevator is a masterpiece of Moorish engineering technology, that enables the elevation of buckets from a waterwell by chain , usually using donkeys or cows, and that is spreadout in allmost all of the Iberian Peninsula, and very common in my region of the Algarve.
