EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, folks! Behold the Pillary of Elvas: a relic from the days when hanging out in town squares had a whole different meaning! This picturesque print takes you back to a time when justice was served with a side of scenic views. Imagine strolling through this charming small town square in Portugal's Portalegre District, only to stumble upon this fascinating piece of history. The Pillary, once used for public punishment, now stands as a reminder of how far we've come (thankfully!) in our methods of correction. As spring blooms and the sun shines down on this European gem, it's hard not to appreciate the juxtaposition between its serene beauty and its dark past. The Portuguese certainly knew how to blend punishment with picturesque scenery! So take a moment to transport yourself back in time with this photo. Feel grateful that you're not living in an era where pillories were part of everyday life. And remember, while history may be intriguing, it's always better enjoyed from afar – preferably without any punitive measures involved! FLPA Images brings us yet another thought-provoking snapshot that reminds us just how much things have changed over the centuries. So hang up your worries and enjoy this delightful glimpse into Europe's historic urban landscapes.
