22 Winged Lion on Column of Justice in Venice, Italy

Near the waterway on the eastern side of the Piazzetta di San Marco is a tall, granite column with the Winged Lion of Venice on top. This symbol of the city and St. Mark is standing on a Bible. It was erected in 1268. A similar column with the statue of Saint Theodore is nearby. They are known as the Columns of Justice because public executions took place between them for several hundreds of years.
