About the flag
It is a quite typical portuguese municipal flag, with the coat of arms centered
on a background gyronny (meaning city rank) of red and
white. The coat of arms is azure, a castle argent masoned sable with windows and
doors gules, charged with Portugal ancien, by a wavy
fess argent. Collar of the order
of the Tower and Sword. Mural crown argent with five
visible towers (city rank) and white scroll reading in
black upper case letters "CIDADE DE SANTAR�M".
Ant�nio Martins, 03 Aug 1999
The fess on the coat of arms stands for the Tagus river, and the castle for the
Santar�m castle, naturally.
