Bari Local Customs: 4 reviews and 4 photos

  A sign of fair measure
by hquittner
 
 

Upon the West Front wall of the Basilica of S. Nicola is entered into the stone a thick line. Its length was the reference for cloth merchants (and others). The Church thus validated fair trade. (I hope tou can see the line as well as the authenticating cross nearby.)

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars
