Hiking

The Pelourinho was placed by the Porto City Council in 1945 after the completion of the restructuring works in the surroundings of the Sé. The City Council ordered the construction of this pillory, which is a reconstruction of an engraving from 1797.

Hiking

The Pelourinho itself is very beautiful. But the most important thing is the view we have over the Douro River and Gaia.

Hiking

This historical monument, a stone pillar with iron shackles, represents the former jurisprudence. In the past, condemned people were paraded in the pillory or hung on iron hooks. The location is probably not the old one.
