The Justice Pillar of Nombela

Monument · Nombela, Torrijos, Toledo

Renaissance rollo erected in 1570, when Philip II exempted Nombela from the jurisdiction of the Duchy of Escalona by royal decree of 17 May, granting it the title of town. It stands on a base of three square steps, formed by a thick Tuscan column topped by four projecting lions and, above them, a small four-pilaster temple with a conical roof and a ball as its final finial.
