Carrer del Palo
VAL: Envoltant la Placeta es troba el peculiar carrer del Palo, que rep el seu nom per ser el lloc on antigament existia el pal.
Aquest, habitual des de l’època medieval, era un instrument de suplici i tortura consistent en un pal de fusta llarg, plantat a terra, on es lligava la persona que s’havia de castigar. Quan es tractava d'un càstig, sense mort, s’utilitzava el “palo” per a exposar el reu públicament i fer-lo servir d'escarni, sotmetent-lo a tot tipus de vexacions. Si el suplici el feien durar uns quantsdies s’arribava a la mort.
ENG: Surrounding the Plazoleta is the peculiar Calle/Street del Palo, which receives its name for being the place where the palo formerly existed.
This, common since medieval times, was an instrument of torture and torture consisting of a long wooden stick, planted on the ground, where the person to be punished was bound. When it was a question of a punishment, without death, the "stick" was used to expose the defendant publicly and use him as derision, subjecting him to all kinds of humiliations. If the torture lasted a few quantsdies, death would be reached.
