The Pillory of Braga is a 15th-century sculpted stone column in Manueline style, located in the civil parish of Maximinos, Sé e Cividade in Braga, Portugal. As a whipping post and symbol of civic authority, it embodied the political, administrative, and judicial power of the municipality during the medieval period. Now designated as Immovable Cultural Heritage of Public Interest, the structure stands as a tangible reminder of Braga's historical governance and the public nature of justice in early modern Portugal.
