    The Pillory of Lisbon is a declared National Monument in the centre of Municipal Square. Historically this has been a pillar where criminals would have been chained for public shaming. What you will is a twisted pillar of Manueline architectural style and topped by a spiralling armillary ball. Today, it is simply a decorative feature and link to local history.

    (Translated by Google) The "Pelourinho" of Lisbon is a pillory located in the parish of Santa Maria Maior, in Lisbon. It is located, more precisely, in the Praça do Município. It is classified as a National Monument since 1910. The pillory was built after the 1755 earthquake, with a project by Eugénio dos Santos and Carvalho, using iron, marble and stone as construction materials. Its architecture is in the revivalist style. Replaces what was previously damaged by the earthquake. The platform is octagonal in shape. The column is made up of 3 elements that form a spiral. At the top of the column there is a metal piece, which forms an armillary sphere, by Pêro Pinheiro. It has a granite base, with five steps. It is approximately 10 meters high. (Original) El "Pelourinho" de Lisboa es una picota ubicada en la parroquia de Santa Maria Maior, en Lisboa. Se encuentra, más precisamente, en la Praça do Município.

    (Translated by Google) Pelourinho of the city of Lisbon, located in Praça do Município, just in front of the Paços do Concelho - Lisbon City Hall. Rebuilt after the earthquake of 1755 where the pelourinho was already located. Historically it is where criminals would be punished and punished. The one of Lisbon in particular, made with marble iron and stonework, is tall and quite beautiful, due to the spiral that composes it, and fits very well in the place where it is placed. (Original) Pelourinho da cidade de Lisboa, localizado na Praça do Município, mesmo em frente dos Paços do Concelho - sede da Câmara Municipal de Lisboa. Reconstruído após o terramoto de 1755 no sítio onde já se localizava o pelourinho. Historicamente é onde seriam punidos e castigados os criminosos. O de Lisboa em particular, feito com ferro mármore e cantaria, é alto e bastante belo, devido à espiral que o compõe, e encaixa muito bem no sítio onde está colocado.

    (Translated by Google) Pillory of Lisbon: located in Praça do Município, in front of the Paços do Concelho, the pillory of Lisbon was erected a few years after the earthquake of 1755, being designed by the architect Eugénio dos Santos e Carvalho, one of the architects of the Pombaline reconstruction. The column consists of a stem and capital base. This is a monolithic piece from the Pêro Pinheiro area, based on a stonework base, which is accessed by five steps. The base is square, five meters wide and the corners are concave. The shaft consists of three rods, with an octagonal section with distinct curved sides and twisted in a spiral from the base to the capital. The capital features eight small rods twisted in the same direction as the shaft and the crown formed by several moldings ends with a golden metal armillary sphere. The total height of the monument, including the finish of the sphere is ten meters. (Original) Pelourinho de Lisboa: localizado na Praça do Município, em frente aos Paços do Concelho, o pelourinho de Lisboa foi erguido alguns anos após o terramoto de 1755, sendo da autoria do arquiteto Eugénio dos Santos e Carvalho, um dos arquitectos da reconstrução Pombalina. A coluna é composta por uma base fuste e capitel. Esta é uma peça monolítica da zona de Pêro Pinheiro, assente sobre uma base de cantaria, para a qual se acede por cinco degraus. A base é quadrada com cinco metros de largura e os cantos em quina cõncava. O fuste é constituído por três hastes, com secção octogonal de lados curvos distintas e torcidas em espiral de base ao capitel. O capitel apresenta oito pequenas hastes torcidas no mesmo sentido do fuste e o coroamento formado por várias molduras termina com uma esfera armilar de metal dourado. A altura total do monumento, incluindo o remate da esfera é de dez metros.

    Amazing monument, an interesting architectural monument carved from a single piece of stone. The threefold spiral columns are a very special piece of art on their own.

    It's a municipal square before cais do sodre. It is big and beautiful, nothing special except that it is surrounded by the museum, a lot of places to stop to eat, shop and many other squares.

    (Translated by Google) I saw a big monument in City Hall Square, near Praça do Commercio. This "Pillory" I've seen the name given to the same monument in front of Porto Kathedrale but this was bigger. Full construction date is unknown but mUyormuş written sources show that he was the 14th century. Of course, all of them destroyed in the earthquake that occurred and have erected this monument. guilty of murder in the 1790 death which has been declared National Monument in edilmiş.1910 seen in this municipality Pillory Square. (Original) Praça do Commercio yakınındaki Belediye Meydanı'nda gördüğüm büyük bir anıt. Bu "Pillory" ad verilen anıtların aynısından Porto Kathedrali önünde de görmüştüm fakat bu daha büyüktü. Tam yapılış tarihi bilinmiyormuş ama yazılı kaynaklar 14. yüzyıl olduğunu gösteriyormuş. Tabii ki depremde bunların hepsi yıkılmış ve bu meydana bu anıtı dikmişler. 1790'da bir cinayet suçlusu burada idam edilmiş.1910 yılında Ulusal Anıt ilan edilen bu Pillory belediye meydanında görülebilir.
