Pillory of Ocaña, Medieval pillory in Ocaña, Spain
The stone pillory consists of eight limestone columns forming a vertical structure, topped with a wrought iron cross in José María Prada Square.
Built during the 15th century when Ocaña joined the Order of Santiago, this Gothic structure served as a symbol of judicial authority and public announcements.
The pillory stands as a testament to medieval judicial practices, representing the historical development of law enforcement and social order in Spanish society.
Located opposite the Lope de Vega Theater, visitors can examine the detailed pearl ornamentation on the central shafts and capitals of the pillory.
The structure features a small temple-like space above the column bundle, displaying traces of careful ornamentation through its arches and columns.
