Bridge of Four Lions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Image:Sankt Petersburg Löwenbrücke 2005 b.jpg Bridge of Four Lions (Russian: Львиный мост, Мост о четырех львах) is a 28-meter-long pedestrian bridge over the Griboedov Canal in St Petersburg, connecting L'vinyi Drive to Malaya Podyacheskaya Street. Its abutments are crowned with four cast-iron sculptures of lions, which give the bridge its name. The structure, suspended by cables emerging from the mouths of lions, was constructed in 1825 to a design by two well-established bridge builders, Wilhelm von Traitteur and Basil Christianowicz.
