![[Salvaterra de Magos municipality]](../images/p/pt-smg.gif)
It is a quite typical portuguese municipal flag, with the coat of arms
centered on a background quarterly (meaning town
rank) of blue and yellow. The coat of arms is azure, a bull chargeant
(?) or, in chief a grapole of grapes, proper, between two bundles of three
wheat ears or each. Mural crown argent with four visible towers
(town rank) and white scroll reading in black
upper case letters "VILA DE SALVATERRA DE MAGOS".

The coat of arms seems to celebrate the local argriculture and pecuary
successes, with no reference to the quite inspiring toponym: something like
"Saved-town of Sorcerors"...
