![[Vila Nova de Famalicão municipality]](../images/p/pt-vnf.gif)
It is a quite typical portuguese municipal flag, with the coat of arms centered
on a background gyronny (meaning city rank) of green
and yellow. The coat of arms is argent, a fess sable charged with three grenates
shelled or and fruited gules, between three grape grapols vert, two in chief and one
in point. Mural crown argent with five visible towers (city
rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "VILA
NOVA DE FAMALICÃO".
