Situated in the central square of the medieval village of São Martinho de Mouros, the pillory, symbol of municipal autonomy, is located next to the former town hall, today a civic centre.
The pillory was built on a foundation consisting of a raised platform supporting four octagonal steps and a high eight faces column with a capitel showing the following elements: the five shields of the Portuguese coat of arms, the date 1601 (probable year of construction) and a Maltese Cross.
