I am lucky enough to get to view this beautiful bridge often. I boat in the area and I pass this bridge on almost every trip out of the marina.

The entire dish was bathed in oil the rice was soggy and overcooked, if not for the excessive oil the dish would have no flavor

It's a beautiful place! Can't believe how they have been able to keep the architecture and history behind all of the buildings and monuments.

Questions & Answers

How did it get named bridge of lions.

Valerie Bitzer | Oct 6, 2020

It gets its name from two Carrara marble Medici lions statues that are copies of those found in the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence, Italy. The statues were a gift of Dr. Andrew Anderson (1839–1924), the builder of the Markland House, who spent the last decade of his life putting works of art in public places in the Ancient City. The statues were his last gift, and he did not live long enough to see them installed. He had them made by the Romanelli Studios in Florence, Italy, which a decade earlier had provided him with smaller versions which he displayed on the front steps at Markland. The Medici lions are also known for the copies placed in the Throne Room of the Royal Palace of Madrid. From wikipedia
