Gated Pier

This little gate guards an equally tiny pier along the port. I think it's quite attractive, but I'm not sure how effective it is in keeping anyone off the pier. You can just step down onto the pier on either side of the ramp. But, maybe its purpose is more aesthetic than anything else...
These little fishing boats are being guarded by the gate. You can see the fishing nets lying out to dry on the pier.

The Madonna of the Dock

Her job is to protect all those seafarers heading off from the pier where Molfetta's pleasure craft are docked. Her downward gaze could seem humble and pious, but if you take a step back and see what she's really looking down at...you might think her expression is more one of sadness...
