I’ve been there! Hard to believe it was 17 years ago already, but I loved every minute I spent in Lucerne and Switzerland in general.

I was just here last week, I live in Switzerland. The monument represents Swiss guard that died defending French monarchy at the beginning of the French revolution. The lion is dying, and has a broken spear shaft in his chest.
