[ES] “Las picotas son columnas de piedra más o menos ornamentadas, sobre las que se exponía a los reos y las cabezas o cuerpos de los ajusticiados por la autoridad civil.

La pena de exhibición en la picota aparece ya legislada en el siglo XIII, en el libro de Las Partidas, de Alfonso X, considerándose la última de las penas leves a los delincuentes para su deshonra y castigo.

La mayoría de las picotas fueron construidas durante los siglos XVI y XVII, debido a las exenciones otorgadas a los lugares que hicieron aportaciones económicas a la Corona para sufragar los cuantiosos gastos de la guerra.

Aunque se suele llamar picota a todas las columnas de este tipo, algunas de ellas son de más categoría y se denominan rollos jurisdiccionales, que sólo se levantaban en villas e indicaban el régimen al que estaba sometido: señorío real, concejil, eclesiástico o monástico.

Supresión

Un decreto de las Cortes de Cádiz, de 26 de mayo de 1813, ordenó la demolición de todos los signos de vasallaje que hubiera en sus entradas, casas particulares, o cualesquiera otros sitios, puesto que los pueblos de la Nación Española no reconocen ni reconocerán jamás otro señorío que el de la Nación misma, y que su noble orgullo sufriría por tener a la vista un recuerdo continuo de humillación.

Como las leyes de las Cortes de Cádiz fueron, en su mayor parte, suprimidas por Fernando VII, este decreto se dejó de aplicar a partir de entonces e, incluso, en 1817 se construyó una en Rioseco de Soria.

Se supone que se destruyeron bastantes ejemplares pero algunos fueron reconvertidos en cruceros para evitar la demolición. Por esto y otros indultos hoy todavía se ven algunos en pie...”

“La Picota de Lupiana es un Rollo Jurisdiccional de estilo plateresco, elaborado con piedra caliza, en el que destacan las "figuras aladas" o "monas" aferradas al capitel de la columna. Simboliza la capacidad de la villa para administrar justicia. Se erigió en 1589, cuando el rey Felipe II concedió el título de Villazgo a Lupiana.”

[EN] “The pillories are more or less ornate stone columns, on which the prisoners and the heads or bodies of those executed by the civil authority were displayed.

The penalty of exhibition in the pillory appears already legislated in the 13th century, in the book of Las Partidas, by Alfonso X, considered the last of the light sentences for criminals for their disgrace and punishment.

Most of the pillories were built during the 16th and 17th centuries, due to the exemptions granted to places that made financial contributions to the Crown to cover the considerable expenses of the war.

Although all columns of this type are usually called pillory, some of them are of higher category and are called rollos jurisdiccionales, which were only erected in towns and indicated the regime to which they were subject: royal lordship, councilman, ecclesiastic or monastic.

Suppression

A decree of the Cortes of Cádiz, dated May 26, 1813, ordered the demolition of all signs of vassalage that were at its entrances, private houses, or any other places, since the towns of the Spanish Nation do not and will not recognize never any other lordship than that of the Nation itself, and that its noble pride would suffer for having in sight a continuous memory of humiliation.

As the laws of the Cortes of Cádiz were, for the most part, suppressed by Fernando VII, this decree was no longer applied from then on and, in 1817, one was even built in Rioseco de Soria.

It is assumed that quite a few examples were destroyed but some were converted into cruisers to avoid demolition. For this and other pardons today some are still standing...”

“The Pillory of Lupiana is a Platateresque-style Rollo Jurisdiccional, made with limestone, in which the "winged figures" or "monas" clinging to the capital of the column stand out. It symbolizes the town's ability to administer justice. It was erected in 1589, when King Philip II granted the title of Villazgo to Lupiana.”
