It is a quite typical Portuguese municipal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a plain blue background.
Coat of arms
image by Sérgio Horta, 31 Jul 1999
The coat of arms is argent, a bundle
of wheat vert bounded gules above three wavy fesses azure. Mural crown
argent with four visible towers (town rank)
and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "VILA
DA GOLEGÃ".
António Martins, 31 Jul 1999 and 22 Aug 1999
The wavy fesses may stand for the Tagus (Tejo) river.
António Martins, 31 Jul 1999
Plain (monocolored) portuguese subnational flags are
not allowed to have armless
variations: plain flags always carry the coat of arms.
Jorge Candeias, 18 Jul 1999
Golegã municipality had 6030 inhabitants in 1990, and it is
