The Best Road Trip in Italy You’ve Never Heard Of - AFAR

"A striking 16-foot bronze statue of an unknown emperor prominently displayed in front of the main cathedral, it serves as an impressive and slightly mysterious civic landmark that lends the nearby historic center a memorable focal point." - Erica Firpo

The Colossus of Barletta, an awe-inspiring marvel of ancient sculpture, stands tall and proud in the heart of Barletta, Italy. My eyes are immediately drawn to the colossal bronze statue, which embodies the strength, valor, and rich historical tapestry of this ancient city. At over five meters in height, it exudes an air of grandeur, captivating all who lay their gaze upon it. This magnificent masterpiece, believed to depict Emperor Heraclius or possibly a Roman emperor, transports us back in time to an era of noble warriors and majestic rulers. The Colossus of Barletta truly encapsulates the essence of history, invoking a sense of admiration and wonder that ignites the passion within every history enthusiast.

Amazing to see this Roman statue in such good condition in the middle of a busy street

The environment is not that representative as the age of the statue would suggest, and you can also very well see the marks of history on it-which I personally find even more honest, but also intensifies the "Axe of my grandfather"-feeling to it.

Bronze statue with long story. Nice to see some historical connection. One of the most popular brand of Barletta.
