Swedish lion

The Swedish Lion, or "the lion monument of Narva", are two statues erected as monuments in memory of the 1700 battle of Narva in the city of Narva in Estonia.

The first version, a copy of one of the stone lions at the royal palace in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, was erected by an entrance to the city of Narva in 1936, it was however destroyed during World War II. A new version, a copy of the "Medici lion" of the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts, was erected by the Narva river in 2000.
