Lion Monument

The Lion Monument is a famous sculpture by Ryusen. An arrow is deeply inserted into the back of the dying lion. The lion shows a painful look. The front paw is pressed with a shield and a spear. The shield has the Swiss national emblem.

This statue not only tells us about the events of 1792, but also about Switzerland, which is so rich today, once a poor and backward country, as well as the Swiss mercenaries of that year.
