Lions Staircase

Entrance of Palazzo Squilloni, scali Cialdini, Livorno
Lions do not watch only gates, but also staircases: this is the majestic entrance of Palazzo Squilloni.

As we have already seen, the building entrance is on Scali Cialdini, but its side faces the Fosso Reale.

    It looks like a red carpet is needed to complete the photo!

    Hmm, I wonder if the lions are as effective as security cameras. :-)

    It is good that those lions are on guard. You wouldn't want those stairs to sneak away.

    Their open mouth gives the lions a funny expression.
