The flag is quartered yellow and black, with the municipal coat of
arms in the center: argent, a castle sable, litten and open of the first,
a templar cross in the dexter chief and a
Christ Order cross in the sinister. Mural
crown of four towers (which, toghether with the quartered partition
shows the municipality seat in town rank), and white scroll reading
"VILA DE MOGADOURO" in black capitals. The castle,
as usual, stands for the local castle and the two crosses relate to the
monk-warrior orders that own the region after the conquest (Templars and,
later, Christ Knights).
