Long Description:
The famous carving of a dying lion by Bertel Thorvaldsen is in a small park just off Lowenplatz. The carving was made to commemorate hundreds of Swiss guards killed by the mobs who stormed the Tuilleries Palace in Paris during the French Revolution in 1792.
Mark Twain described the Lion of Lucerne as the saddest and most moving piece of rock in the world.
