Réplica do Pelourinho de Beja
The pillory construction was ordered by Dom Manuel after the grant of the charter of Leitura Nova in 1521. Similar to other royal works of this time, here are also represented the arms of this monarch, armillary sphere and an iron Christ cross. After a troubled way, the pillory was rebuilt in the XX century accordingly to the original model.
