Pelourinho de Santa Cruz de Riba Tâmega is a compact historic stone pillory in Vila Meã. Photograph its worn textures, carved heraldry, and the way it anchors a quiet streetscape. Best light is late afternoon for warm shadows; mornings can be cooler and flatter. Expect low crowds—ideal for close, detailed work; no entry requirements (public outdoor viewing).
