Coat of arms

image by Sérgio Horta, 14 Feb 2007

The arms are Argent on a cliff mound Sable emphasized Vert a fortified tower Azure with port and windows of the First and flanked by two bouquets (?) of three wheat ears each Argent tied Gules. Mural crown argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "PENELA".
Meaning:
"Penela" is an old Portuguese (or pehaps Mozarabic) word made from Celtiberian "Pena" ("crag") and the Latin diminutive suffix "-ella": therefore a small rocky hilltop, which the arms seem to show (canting).
António Martins-Tuválkin, 14 Feb 2007

Version without Coat of Arms

Plain (monocoloured) portuguese subnational flags are not allowed to have variations without arms: plain flags always carry the coat of arms.
