MomentThis image shows an informational sign in Algora, Spain, about the "Picota (rollo)." The sign is black with green text and features the municipality's coat of arms. The text explains that Algora received the title of "Villa" in 1757, leading to the construction of the Picota in 1765 at the old crossroads of the Camino Real and the old road to Aragon. The sign states that the Picota is one of the largest and best-preserved in the Province of Guadalajara. A photo depicts a stone column-like monument, presumably the Picota. The sign details that it consists of a striated shaft of two stone bodies and is topped by a chess pawn or ball above the cross. The Picota stands on a triple step of hewn stone and measures over five meters. The inscription "Año-DE-1765" can be read on the cornice. The sign is outside, with a wall on one side and a cobblestone surface on the other.
