The legend of the Barcelos Rooster

It is said that a pilgrim was preparing to leave Barcelos heading to Santiago Compostela, however he was accused of stealing and was condemned to be hanged. The pilgrim protested his innocence, yet the judge did not believe him.
The judge was about to eat a roasted cock and the pilgrim said: “If I am innocent, this cock will crow three times“. When the pilgrim was about to be hanged the cock did crowed. The judge then decided to release the pilgrim.
According to the legend, a few years later when the pilgrim returned and made a statue over the event (named “the Cruzeiro do Senhor Galo“, nowadays exhibited in the Barcelos Archaeological Museum.
