About the Flag

It is a fairly typical Portuguese municipal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a field gyronny (city rank) of green and yellow.

The coat of arms is Argent, a St. James cross between two rudders proper, all between two sheaves Or tied Gules; in point, on mound Vert a fess wavy Azure fimbriated Argent. Mural crown Argent with five visible towers (city rank), and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "CIDADE DO MONTIJO".
Meaning:
