The Basilica Of Saint Nicholas In Bari

The Colonna dei Miracoli (Column of Miracles) is located in the crypt of the Basilica of Saint Nicholas in Bari. It is a stone column on which numerous ex-votos are hung, which are symbolic objects left by the faithful as a sign of gratitude for a grace received or a miracle. Tradition holds that the column is linked to miraculous events associated with Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of the city of Bari, whose tomb lies directly beneath the main altar of the crypt. The ex-votos hanging on the column serve as a testimony to the strong bond between the community and the saint and are considered symbols of devotion and popular faith.
