The Bank Bridge

银行桥是一座19世纪的人行铁链桥，横跨喀山教堂南侧的格里博耶多夫运河。在桥两端分别盘踞着两头狮鹫雕像，狮鹫有着狮子的躯体和利爪，又拥有鹰的头和翅膀，狮鹫扬起金色双翼，口中伸出两条铁链吊索串连。据说建桥时这里有一座大型联邦银行，狮鹫雕像则被赋予了保护银行财产的象征意义……

银行桥是圣彼得堡市内运河上众多桥梁的一座，但因为位于繁华地段和旅游的热门区，所以游客比较多。其周围有喀山大教堂，滴血大教堂等等。

Bank Bridge historical beautiful bridge was snowing day I love the place near to Nevsky street the suspension bridge was built in 1825-1826. according to the project of wilhelm von tretter

The Bank Bridge was built between 1825 and 1826. The bridge is famous for its two statues of the lions, which are covered with their bodies and claws, and the head and wings of the eagle. The Bank Bridge's griffin, with its flying golden wings, is one of the landmarks of St. Petersburg. Unfortunately, I came in winter, and the scenery is naturally not as good as summer. But very close to the financial university!

Knowing the bridge, I went to find it, just south of Kazan Cathedral. Passing a university, it is the time for students to go to school, all with books, jokes and laughter into the school, instantly think of themselves as students. The bridge is very small. I don't know why it is famous. Is it because of the golden wings? In fact, I prefer the design that it spits out the wire from the lion's mouth.

It's a very famous bridge because of the famous winged golden lions. Because the Bank Bridge is located in the heart of St. Petersburg, there are many people coming and going on Neva Street every day. Photographs are not so ideal, only one corner can be taken far away.
