High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Fuero (Spanish: ), Fur (Catalan: ), Foro (Galician: ) or Foru (Basque: ) is a Spanish legal term and concept. The word comes from Latin forum, an open space used as market, tribunal and meeting place. The same Latin root is the origin of the French terms for and foire, and the Portuguese terms foro and foral; all of these words have related, but somewhat different, meanings.
