Marble lions guarding the Grafsky Wharf

avatar

Hi guys!!

Grafskaya pier is in our city, built before the Crimean military campaign of 1854-1856

Initially, the pier was built without lions. Tsar Nicholas I decided that the pier was too empty and on his orders these lions were installed

These lions have survived three wars, but still guard the Main Wharf of the city.

There are military parades and many other city holidays

The city is divided by a long Bay into two parts. The boat in the background is the public transport of citizens. This pier is one of the stops.
