Barcelos rooster in gray from the Memória Lusa brand. Barcelos rooster 14 cm high. Legend of the Galo de Barcelos (Barcelos rooster or
Portuguese rooster): At a banquet hosted by a wealthy landowner in the town of Barcelos, money was stolen and one
of the guests were accused. He was found guilty by the court. All the evidence was against him, but he maintained
his innocence. The magistrate gives him one last opportunity to prove that he speaks the truth. The culprit saw a dead rooster
in a basket and said "if I am innocent, the rooster will crow" and the
rooster crowed, the prisoner walked out free.
