Cana (unit)

Summary

A cana was a unit of length used in the former Crown of Aragon.[1] The exact meaning was not consistent, but the use in Barcelona was a distance of 1.57 metres (5 ft 2 in).[citation needed] It is around the same value as the vara of Aragon,[1] a seldom used Spanish and Portuguese unit of length.
