Girona lion

El Cul de la lleona
Spain, Girona
In Sant Feliu Square next to the Church of Sant Feliu, there is a sculpture of a lion climbing a column. This lion is the symbol of Girona. It is believed that if you kiss a lion, then you will definitely return to the city. But it should be borne in mind that this is just a copy of the sculpture of the XII century. The original has long been kept in the Art Museum of Girona.

On the Pujada de Sant Feliu, there is a sculpture in the form of a lion climbing a column. The stone statue is the symbol of the city, and according to signs, if you kiss it, you can return to Girona again. For those who cannot reach out to kiss, caring residents have installed a ladder at the base of the column - a tourist attraction in a complicated form - "jump and kiss" : ) Of course, the city also has its own legend about this. The story took place in those distant centuries, when Girona was still a small city located behind the fortress wall.
