Una veleta con forma de gallo.

Una veleta es un dispositivo giratorio que consta de gve tuna placa plana vertical que gira libremente, un señalador que indica la dirección del viento y una cruz horizontal que indica los puntos cardinales. Se ubica generalmente en lugares elevados y su diseño puede ser muy variado (figuras de animales, antropomorfas, etc).

De esta ingeniosa idea tomaron sin duda origen nuestras veletas o giraldillas en forma de cometa, de gallo, de matrona, etc. Antiguamente,s en forma de estatuas destinadas a conocer la dirección de los vientos giraldas o giraldillas porque giran al impulso de éstos. La más célebre de éstas es sin duda la de Sevilla de cuya figura tomó la torre sobre la que se hallaba el nombre de Giralda.[1]
