Bronze Statue
In front of the church of San Sepolcro in Barletta is a bronze statue, over 5m/16ft high, of a Byzantine emperor (perhaps Valentinian I; d. 375), the finest piece of colossal sculpture in bronze from ancient times. The Venetians brought it back from Constantinople to Italy in the 13th century and left it after a shipwreck on the beach of Barletta.
