Panty Bar at the Paternoster Hotel

A visit to Paternoster is not complete without visiting the famous Panty Bar at the Paternoster Hotel. The premises reportedly used to be a jail, but in 1974 Johan Carosini began collecting “Honeymoon Panties” to display in the bar. In 1983, the local clergy reported the pub, saying it was an “unholy practice.” The display was removed, but in the 1990s Giorello Carosini started the collection again and it has been flourishing ever since!
