One of the many domes on William Young's 1880s City Chambers in Glasgow. I particularly like the pairs of winged lions guarding each corner.

If everything is old in Venice, then what about the bridges? Well, surprise, most of them are not. In fact, 3/4 of the bridges are modern.

Why St Mark?

San Marco, or St Mark, is the patron saint of Venice since 828, and the Feast of St Mark on April 25th is an important day in Venice.

Why the winged lion?

There are statues, reliefs and paintings of a winged lion all over Venice. The lion is the symbol of the Evangelist St. Mark
