Sorry... I'm in Summer holidays and I pass many time disconected from the networld.
Here are some topics: the portuguese flag is green (hope) and red (blood, fight, victory). In the center is the circles of the esphere, symbol of the portuguese colonial impire and discoveries of new continents. At last, 7 castles (conquests) and 5 shields disposed in cross (military and religious protections).
Hi Leo! Thanks for your interest in portuguese flag. As in the other countries we learn in school the meaning of our flag (ie. color green, red, yellow, armshield etc). In order you have a better translation than mine ;)) I send you the link of Wikipedia where I found a very good entry:

Please if you have more questions don't hesitate. By the way where (state) you work?
