Image of Hontecillas, not of the place itself.

The jurisdictional pillory of Hontecillas, in the Manchuela Conquense, is a stone pillar erected in 1426 by order of King John II of Castile. It stands to the right of the entrance to the town, beside the road, and is one of the elements that recalls the town's former independent jurisdiction.
