The Pelourinho de Penamacor is a Manueline-style pillory located in Penamacor, Portugal, designated as an Immovable Cultural Heritage of Public Interest. This whipping post exemplifies the architectural language of the Manueline period, a style flourishing in early 16th-century Portugal, characterized by ornate maritime and naturalistic motifs. As a surviving example of medieval civic infrastructure, the structure reflects the judicial and administrative authority exercised in Portuguese towns during the early modern era.
