On the facade of St. Petersburg a lot of animals and birds. Of course, you say that most lions there. You are right. But, surprisingly, how much we have owls!Owls are established during the Art Nouveau. Art Nouveau is not by chance also called "animal style". The abundance of natural motifs and animals settled in this era on the walls. And not only in St. Petersburg.
Owl symbolizes wisdom. She was a companion of Pallas Athena, in ancient Greece it was the image on the silver coins. In ancient Rome, there was a saying, "The owl of Minerva flies at night", which hinted that the wise thoughts come at night, when subsides vibrant city. Since then, it was believed that the owl brings good luck to the house, so stuffed owl nailed over the door or next. Therefore, it is in the tradition to see owls, guarding the entrance to the house or on the roof. They do not sleep at night, goggles and protect owners from enemies., , , .
