Santo Amaro Commune

Flag

It is a typical Portuguese communal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a field of yet unknown colour.
Facebook shows the conference hall of the local council, where only the flags of Portugal, of Europe, of the Azores and of the municipality are hoisted. Thus the commune at least doesn´t use a proper flag.
