Lonely Planet review

To the north of Piazza del Ferrarese it merges imperceptibly into another set-piece piazza, Piazza Mercantile, historically the political centre of the old town and an important public space. It contains the Palazzo del Sedile (much altered over time), the medieval headquarters of Bari's Council of Nobles, and the Colonna della Giustizia (Column of Justice), to which debtors were tied and lashed.
