Visit the Pillory of Sarzedas

The Pillory of Sarzedas is located in the parish of Sarzedas. It has been classified as a Public Interest Property since 1933.
The original pillory, possibly contemporary of the Manueline charter, was destroyed in the late 19th century. Three finial fragments, the only remaining elements, were integrated into the 1963 reconstitution. It has an octagonal stem decorated at the angles with bosantes. On the capital, also decorated with half spheres, rests a cubic block of faces adorned with very eroded heraldic motifs, topped by a pyramid.
