The Portuguese flag is composed of green and red, and the national coat of arms. The red color symbolizes the blood shed during the Portuguese revolution in 1910 and the green color stands for hope. Five blue emblems on a white field are allegedly reminder of five Moorish kings, who the first Portuguese king Afonso Henriques had to defeat. Its cross position points to the Christian tradition. Seven castles on the larger red emblem symbolize the seven castles that Alfons had to conquer. The gGolden navigation device in the background of the coat of arms refers to the Portuguese past as a colonial power.
Thanks a lot RFS
