In the Public garden in front of the Municipal Museum - Furniture Museum, in the Dr. Luis Urbano Square and demarcating a civic space central to the city and the Museum.
There are documented references (referred by Ferreira de Almeida, for example) to a 16th century Pillory that has disappeared. Since Paços de Ferreira acquired the statute of Municipality in 1836, the current Pillory is also recent, even though prior to the construction of the City Hall, work of Dr. João Meireles, done between 1910 and 1918.
The Pillory sits in a square-shaped platform, has a cylindrical shaft finished in an abacus of Doric type, on which rests a cubical shape with three faces decorated by frames, one of them presenting the Esendo, where the Royal Crown lays, with rounded finishing to the centre. It is considered a Rounded Pillory.
