"WELCOME TO MY COUNTRY" Portugal by IneXisTenZ

The green strip is meant to simbolise the hope in the future and the red the blood of the nation’s heroes.

The five blue shields represents the five moorish kings defeated by the first King of Portugal at the Battle of Ourique .

The dots inside the blue shields represent the five wounds of Christ when crucified. Counting the dots and doubling those five in the center, there are thirty dots that represents the coins Judas received for having betrayed Christ.

The seven castles represents the fortified cities Dom Afonso Henriques conquered from the moors.

The globe represents the world discovered by the Portuguese navigators in the fifteen and sixteenth centuries

Portugal's seven regions join together as one in order to give you the warmest possible welcome, for they all share one and the same wish: that whichever choice you make you will feel at home and that you will always return to visit us whenever the fancy may take you.
