Former Lousã commune (until 2013)

Lousã Commune probably shared the symbols of the municipality (see flag above) and had no proper symbols. As the communal heraldry page displays only the symbols of Vilarinha (see below) and of the town of Lousã, it is very likely that the commune had no symbols of its own.
