Pezuela de las Torres acquired jurisdictional independence in 1554 for the payment of one and a half million maravedis, erecting a pillory in the Plaza del Coso that represented the power to administer justice and a place for the town's residents to see criminals who were being sentenced to a pillory. The pillory is seven metres high on a pedestal of four steps and is topped with the heads of four lions. Next to it is the Plaza de la Constitución, home to the Town Hall and the Church of the Assumption, with a Romanesque apse and the rest rebuilt between the 16th and 18th centuries. It has a curious stately doorway from 1748 and a 16th century porticoed gallery, known as El Portalillo, the former meeting centre of the council. Most of the town's streets are on a slope, facing the plain, some houses retain the traditional two-storey country architecture and white facades. On Cerro del Calvario there are remains of traditional wineries used to make wine.

The unique urban style of Nuevo Baztán maintains the original Baroque model from the beginning of the 18th century, designed by José de Churriguera by order of Juan de Goyeneche, who had permission from Charles II to build glass, paper and textile factories on Spanish territory. The Navarrese businessman was originally from Arizkun, in the Baztán Valley, but spent time in Madrid because he had other properties and professional relations with the Court. He chose the site of Madrid's Alcarria to found an industrial and rural centre in honour of his homeland and commissioned the Madrid architect to build a glass factory, a farming village of half a thousand inhabitants, a palace, a monumental church and gardens with centuries-old pines and elms. The town preserves cobbled streets, stone squares, rural buildings from the time of its foundation, between 1709 and 1713, and palace gardens, a beautiful heritage complex declared a Historic-Artistic Monument in 1941 and a Site of Cultural Interest in 2000.

Its history dates back to 1554. Pezuela had one hundred and eighty residents. The Council collected a million and a half maravedíes that ended up in the hands of King Carlos I in exchange for being able to have jurisdiction. On the occasion of this event, to commemorate and warn all travelers that Pezuela had achieved the power to administer justice for itself and that it was now a Villa, the Picota was ordered to be erected, a stone monument that was usually placed in the public square or at a crossroads. There are many legends of torture in Pezuela de las Torres. They all took place in the town square. In the past, the pillory was an instrument that was used to torture, place prisoners for public ridicule or expose a person's head after their execution. In it, major and minor penalties were paid for common criminals, who, after being whipped, were exposed to public shame. It had an exemplary character and had to be visited by the people when there were sentences. In addition to capital punishment, the exposure of public shame was frequent: the condemned had to endure the outbursts of the neighbors in addition to suffering the throwing of things that were within their reach (rocks, excrement or whatever they had at hand). That's where, in fact, the term pillorying or empicotar comes from. Although it was not the only one in the region, Pezuela today is one of the most important in the Community of Madrid.
