La Lleona - Sculpture in Girona, Spain
Molt famós a Girona. Sha de visitar la lleona.
No longer can you kiss the lions bum. Bring a tall friend.
an unnecessary detail
Inici dels recorreguts per Girona i perdre-shi
Sehr schöne Gassen vor allem nachts
Lieu de pèlerinage, on dit que si lon touche au fesses de la lionne, on revient à Gérone. Moi jy ai touché..on sait jamais!🤭
Crazy legend about kissing the Lions butt. Watch a few tourists trying to climb the pole. Fun to just sit and watch the crowds.
No steps to kiss its assss. But so funny to watch people hitch up post to try.
To dość stara rzeźba przy kościele, ale ma swoją historię. Jeśli ktoś pocałuje lwice w pewna oczywista część ciała wróci kiedyś do Girony. Tak było jeszcze przed pandemia, były ustawione schodki dla turystów a obecnie można tylko popatrzeć. Chyba nie jest to możliwe. Mimo to fajna ciekawostka i łatwa do znalezienia w mieście.
Todo un símbolo de Girona actualmente no se puede subir a besar a la lleona pero ya vendrán tiempos mejores. Y pasáis por la ciudad visitarla.
Segunda vez que visito Girona en mi caso volví después de besarla según cuenta la tradición. Ubicada al lado de la basilica y muy cerca de la catedral y su casco antiguo.
A estátua fica meio escondida na esquina, estavam fazendo manutenção no local, não deu para toca-la mas é um ponto histórico
Il monumento è ovviamente molto consumato e in questo momento non è possibile accedervi direttamente per via del covid, ma si vede bene comunque e da perfettamente lidea del significato di questa statua nella storia. Particolarmente importante è la targa che replica la statua in miniatura e racconta la storia del monumento. Il luogo intorno per altro è pieno di bar, gelaterie e ristoranti quindi dopo la foto di rito si può decidere di sedersi a prendere qualcosa o salire la scalinata per visitare la chiesa di San Feliu.
Nice to know about the kiss thing! Was expecting a bit more
An interesting find, with quite a bit of history.
People came to this small lion sculpture and get into the stairs to hug and kiss the lion to return back to the city.
Imatges de la Basílica de Sant Feliu on podem trobar la famosa escultura de La Lleona i una imatge del Pont de Sant Feliu on poder contemplar les Cases de lOnyar.
Beautiful
Nice history to the place to kiss the butt of the lion.
Скульптура Жиронской Львицы располагается на колонне, на площади Сант Фелиу (Plaça de Sant Feliu, улице Calderers), это в начале туристического маршрута, перед входом в старый город. По поверьям, зад львице целуют на удачу, с целью счастливых и частых путешествий, чтобы вновь вернуться в Жирону и Каталонию в целом, а также загадав при этом сокровенное желание. Для удобства желающих это сделать, к колонне приделали ступеньки)
Nice legend that States that if you kiss the lioness bottom, you will return to Girona. This is a replica. The original is in the art museum.
The most delicious icecream made on site and the young ladies on the counter couldnt be more helpful and endering
Kiss the Lion!!!
If you ever find yourself walking down Placa Sant Felix and happen to pass Lhostal de la Lleona, take a moment to look for stone column with a sculpture of a decorative lion, that looks like it’s climbing up. Kiss that lions behind cause it might just save your life. No … just kidding. This is another one of those rub/kiss a sculpture thing that supposedly brings good luck. Go ahead if you believe in that kind of thing.Theres also a plaque near the lion describing I think the origin of this superstition (in Spanish).
Just a little Historic place to visit and was fun.
Cute.
Nothing too exciting but worth stopping by.
Just kiss it
Small sculpture of a lion climbing at a column, worn out copy of an original now situated on the history of Girona museum. Situated in the cathedral square, it has a metal staircase attached to it with the aim to help people to climb and kiss the butt of the lion and make a photo out of the spectacle! 😜 Allegedly, this will make you return to the city...
They say if you kiss the lion you will return to the city.
Fun taking picture here, but it doesnt mean and look much if you dont know the history of it. And yes, kiss the butt!
Enteresante
Delicious
My friend wanted me to kiss the butt of this Lion sculpture because he said according to the history here, it brings some sort of luck. HahahaSo be sure to kiss the lion when next you find yourself in Girona
Preciosa plaza con buenos restaurantes. Como anfitriona de Girona, cuando tengo visitas es obligatorio venir a esta plaza y hacer un beso a la lleona, además de hacer que vuelvas trae buena suerte!
I loved spending time in Girona. The flowers and the history of the gorgeous Girona and its people were amazing. I fell in love with Spain and came home with wonderful memories of a country filled with amazing stories.
Esperemos sea cierto lo que dicen que si besas el culto de la leona vuelves a Girona, lugar maravilloso en Cataluna.Everyone says you will be Back in Girona if you kiss the bottom of the sculpture, hooefully is true as this city is wonderful
Quality ice cream
Старинная небольшая скульптура львицы,установленая перед входными воротами в город,выполненная древним скульптором,который,по-видимому,никогда не видел львиц.По легенде-каждый входящий в город должен был поцеловать попку львице.Чужаки этого не знали,таким образом обнаруживая себя.На каменной стене рядом со скульптурой висит памятная табличкащб.
Linda escultura con su historia. Se dice que quien besa y toca la cola algún día regresará a Girona. Vale la pena la foto y caminar por este sector.
kiss its bottom and your said to return to the city. A tribute to "kissing ass" in return for a wish, our tour guide informed us merrily
see
Beautiful scenery
Versiones en inglés y español siguen -English & Spanish versions followCopie de loriginal du XII°siècle, conservée au musée dART, la Lleona représente don:dition veut que pour être un bon Géronais, où si lon vient dailleurs, comme moi de Belgique, il faut lui toucher ou embrasser le postérieur....il avait gelé ce matin....les microbes étaient morts...et la légende dit qui si lon ne le fait pas, lon ne reviendra plus à Gérone....je fus le seul du groupe à le faire....et jai une grande envie de revenir.....Copy of the original XII century, kept at the ART Museum, the Lleona represents a lioness perched on a column, turned head and twisted tail ... The tradition is that to be a good Geron, where if the we come from elsewhere, like me from Belgium, you have to touch or kiss the posterior .... it had frozen this morning .... the microbes were dead ... and the legend says that if you do not do not, we will not return to Girona .... I was the only one of the group to do it .... and I have a great desire to come back .....Copia del siglo XII original, guardada en el Museo de Arte, la Lleona representa a una leona encaramada en una columna, la cabeza girada y la cola torcida ... La tradición es que ser un buen Geron, donde si el venimos de otros lugares, como yo de Bélgica, tienes que tocar o besar el trasero ... se había congelado esta mañana ... los microbios estaban muertos ... y la leyenda dice que si no lo haces no, no volveremos a Girona ... Fui el único del grupo que lo hizo ... y tengo muchas ganas de volver ...
A must see attraction when visiting Girona. Check out the local legend about kissing the lion to be sure youll return to Girona one day.There are plenty of cafes nearby and you can also visit the cathedral and Jewish Quarter and Museum which are all a short stroll away.
Pues se ve que se cumple, yo ya llevo dos viajes y en los dos besé él cul de la lleona, a ver él tercero... Preciosa la zona de Barrí vell, tiene muchos rincones ,con mucho encanto por descubrir , no OS lo perdais!!

Good marketing on saturdays
Famous local monument. There is a legend, that, to return one more time to Girona you should kiss a butt of Lleona (Lioness). There are even special stairs near the monument!
Nice views in spring when the Catalans celebrate flower days.
