Vert a bar wavy Argent charged with two barrulets wavy Azure and on a pall over all Argent a fleur-de-lis Azure, in chief a cork oak twig Or. Mural crown Argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll reading "MONTARGIL" in black upper case letters.
Meaning:
The arms refer to the local cork oak woods and probably the local road and river dam topography; no idea about the fleur-de-lis.
António Martins-Tuválkin and Peter Hans van den Muijzenberg, 10 Oct 2010

Flag and arms adopted and published in the official journal Diário da República: III Série on 16 January 1996
