It is a quite typical portuguese municipal flag, with the coat of arms
centered on a plain green background. The coat of arms is argent, a tree
(cork oak?) proper (see bellow) between two fleurs de
lis gules (but see bellow). Mural crown argent with four
visible towers (town rank) and white scroll
reading in black upper case letters "VILA DE AZAMBUJA".

«tree proper».
