Sentences of offenders, who would be exposed to mockery, to corporal punishment and sometimes death, were read in front of pillories - stone or wooden columns with iron hooks or wooden boards.
Em frente dos pelourinhos, colunas de pedra ou madeira com ganchos de ferro ou placas de madeira, liam-se as sentenças dos delinquentes que iam ser expostos ao escárnio, à punição corporal e por vezes à morte.
