Lion in Monrepos, Granite Lion monument in Monrepos Park, Vyborg, Russia.

The granite sculpture features a lion in a sitting position, displaying precise craftsmanship through detailed muscle definition and powerful facial features.

The monument, created in 1927 by Finnish sculptor Gunnar Finne, marks a period when Vyborg belonged to the independent Republic of Finland.

The Lion Monument serves as an educational destination for students learning about the complex historical relationships between Finland and Russia in the region.

Visitors can reach the monument through marked paths in Monrepos Park, with guided tours available in multiple languages during summer months.

The Lion's position and scale create specific shadows across its granite surface, changing the sculpture's appearance throughout different times of day.
