The Lion Monument (German: Löwendenkmal), or the Lion of Lucerne, is a rock relief in Lucerne, Switzerland, designed by Bertel Thorvaldsen and hewn in 1820-21 by Lukas Ahorn. It commemorates the Swiss Guards who were massacred in 1792 during the French Revolution, when revolutionaries stormed the Tuileries Palace in Paris. It is one of the most famous monuments in Switzerland, it was placed under Swiss monument protection.
US author Mark Twain praised the sculpture of a mortally wounded lion as "the most mournful and moving piece of stone in the world."))

Lucerne is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and is rich in sights and attractions. In addition to the world-famous Chapel Bridge and the water tower, the Musegg Wall, the Jesuit Church, the Chaff Bridge, the Lion Monument, the KKL Culture and Congress Center and a variety of other sights characterize the cityscape of Lucerne. The best way to explore Lucerne is on foot.
We walk around the city & started at Rathaussteg
It is an extremely decorative passage that leads to the magnificent town hall and the old town.
It is pedestrian-only and has finely wrought iron side walls, belying its relatively modern unveiling in 1961. It was a replacement for a much older transition.
Enjoy your magical walk in Lucerne!
Walk in a beautiful place.
