The Pillory Goa

Where the Kuchcha road branches off from the road to Neura, leading to the Church and Convent of the Cross of Miracles , is a lone pillar on a raised platform,

which once occupied the central place in the city square, and was used for punishing offenders of the law, who were tied to it and publicly whipped.

It was in use during the Portuguese rule till the end of the 17th century.

The pillar, which is of basalt, had iron rings fixed to it and from its shape and mouldings

it appears that the pillar might have formed part of a Brahmanical temple.
