10 Incredible Statues From Around The World You Never Knew Existed
Dying Lion Of Lucerne, Switzerland
This statue, carved into a sandstone wall in Switzerland, pays homage to the mercenary soldiers who died during the French Revolution. The statue shows a huge lion—measuring 20 feet (6 meters) by 33 feet (10 meters)—resting its head on its paw as it dies. The other paw hands limply over the water below.
An inscription above the lion's head reads (in English), "To the loyalty and bravery of the Swiss." The statue is at once sad, moving, and inspiring, and all those who look upon it will feel the loss of the Swiss soldiers.
