According to Greek mythology, the Chimera was a monstrous fire-breathing hybrid creature composed of the parts of more than one animal. It is usually depicted as a lion, with the head of a goat arising from its back, and a tail with a snake's head. Ours is huge, and it is on the facade of a building in Piazza del Municipio.

Great colours on this one. The myths of Greece fascinate me.
Reminds me a little of the movie "Alien" that I just saw. :-)
A very artistic rendering.
Fascinating!
Interesting mythology. I still wouldn't want to meet one of these in a dark ally.
Fascinating, good it is not real...
the head of a snake on his tail, yikes! i've not heard of the chimera before, very interesting creature! glad he is just a myth!
Glad I can see crazy things like a chimera in your city because it's not something you would ever find in Jerusalem.
That is not the typical Italian lion that I so admired when I visited Italy.
This is quite impressive. It could use a little TLC though.
Very interesting VP.
This is beautiful !!
Scary creature!
If those are windows beneath it, it really is huge and beautiful!
I hope I never meet one in real life. ;)) Looks scary.
