Located in Largo Duque de Palmela, very close to the Town Hall and next to the Church of Misericórdia, the pillory is an important symbol of the ancient judicial power in the urban space and of municipal autonomy. Dating from 1645, it was built of limestone (lioz) and consists of a two-step platform with an octagonal base. The shaft is cylindrical and smooth, the capital is decorated with acanthus leaves, and four iron hooks extend from it, ending in zoomorphic shapes. The top consists of a quadrangular element bearing the inscription 1645, above which are the royal coat of arms (shield and crown), surmounted by an iron cross. In the 19th century, perhaps after the abolition of the Municipality in 1855, the pillory was dismantled. The population rebuilt it in 1907, likely as a demonstration of the struggle for the Restoration of the Municipality, which would take place in 1926. By Decree-Law of June 16, 1910, it was classified as a National Monument. Time has eroded the stone and iron, but in 2001, the City Council restored its dignity through restoration work.

These were the "mills" of old, moved by the wind, heavy granite millstones, transformed wheat seeds into flour from which delicious bread was made, which "satisfied" the hunger of those who had little to eat.
