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. The monument was built to commemorate the 1792 French Revolution, when the mob attacked the Duilerie Palace in France, to protect 786 Swiss officers and guards who died of King Louis XVI and Queen Mary, in order to pray for world peace. The text below the monument described the event. At that time, Switzerland was a poor and backward country. Men were forced to make a living and went to European countries as mercenaries. After this incident, Switzerland stopped exporting mercenaries, leaving only the Vatican Guard, the famous Swiss Guard, who served the Catholic Church.

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.
