 | Venice Winged lions Reviews | 1 - 3 of 3 |  |
 symbolof Venice by sandysmith
The lion is the symbol of Venice and they can be seen almost everywhere in Venice. The obvious places are in St Marks on the Basilica and in the small piazzata fronting the lagoon on top of one of the columns there. I liked spotting the unusual ones like this one -one of a pair - on a wall in Salizada San Polo.

 Lion of St.Marks by sim1
In the distance you can see the Lion of St.Marks. It is towering high up in the sky on a huge pillar. But with a pair of binoculars (or a good zoom lens on your camera) you will be able to take a good look at it. Leave a Comment

All around Venice you will find the symbol of a winged lion. This is the symbol of Venice. It was the symbol of the St. Mark which is, of course, the patron saint of Venice.
