Winged lions at Bank Bridge in Saint-Petersburg.
Bank Bridge represents some of the highest artistic and architectural qualities in early 19th century bridge building. It also boasts four unique and decorative fairy-tale like cast-iron griffins that ingeniously and mysteriously seem to guard one’s passageway onto the footbridge and the gate of the historic State Bank building (now the Academy of Finance and Economics building).
This pedestrian bridge, which is only 1.85 meters wide, was designed by the engineer V. Tretter. Pavel Sokolov crafted the fantastic mythological cast-iron griffins. He also created the lions for the Lion Bridge and the sphinxes featured on the Egyptian Bridge.
