The pillory is located in the locality of Vila Nogueira de Azeitão, in the municipality of Setúbal, Portugal. It can be found in Praça da República, known as Rossio da Vila.
This monument is classified as a Property of Public Interest since 1933. The iron armillary sphere that crowns it is a distinctive and representative detail.
Originally, the pillory was located in Vila Fresca de Azeitão, where the municipality of Azeitão was founded. Later, with the transfer of the municipality's headquarters to Vila Nogueira de Azeitão, the pillory was also transferred to this locality.
The pillory currently located in Praça da República is a reconstruction carried out in the second half of the 20th century, preserving the historical memory of the original.
This is a point of interest for those who appreciate history and heritage, representing an important connection to the administrative and cultural past of the region. The square where it is located is also a pleasant and emblematic space in the village.
