Nice square to sit and relax. Quiet in the winter.
The Pillory of Lisbon is a declared National Monument in the centre of Municipal Square. Historically this has been a pillar where criminals would have been chained for public shaming.
What you will is a twisted pillar of Manueline architectural style and topped by a spiralling armillary ball. Today, it is simply a decorative feature and link to local history.

Amazing monument, an interesting architectural monument carved from a single piece of stone. The threefold spiral columns are a very special piece of art on their own.
It's a municipal square before cais do sodre. It is big and beautiful, nothing special except that it is surrounded by the museum, a lot of places to stop to eat, shop and many other squares.
