JocHapper JocH 04/05/2018

Fantastic experience: "Girona Lion" (Lleona de Girona or Cul de la Lleona) is a limestone lion climbing a limestone column. The original statue dates from the 12th century and houses the Girona Art Museum. In front of the stairs of Sant Feliu church is a small park with a copy. The saying goes, "if anyone kisses the lion's buttocks, he returns to Girona,". Currently, a wooden staircase helps tourists keep the tradition. But there are those whose souls have remained here forever.

Jordi Prat 04/05/2018

Fantastic experience: The so-called Lioness of Girona, or Lion's Ass, is a 13th-century sculpture of limestone from Girona, part of the Architectural Heritage Inventory of Catalonia. Its fame and popular value have been increasing, especially since 1986, [1] the year a copy was made of the original, kept in the Girona Museum of Art, and placed on Calle Calderers , at the foot of the stairs of the church of Sant Feliu, a strategic point in the Old Town of Girona. The crown that crowns the whole seems later than the date mentioned. The lion, or lioness, is voluminous in relief, and has a part of the face and tail noticeably damaged. It shows large claws and its head turned to the side, a typical layout seen in many Romanesque capitals (almonestir de Sant Pere de Galligants, now the headquarters of the Archeological Museum of Girona. Its legend has crossed borders and is one of the quintessential tourist icons of the city.VIKIPEDIA
