Depicted statue of the symbol of Venetian Republic, winged lion, decorates top of marble column resembling its original from St. Mark Square in Venice and located in a luxury commercial and residential district Puerto Madero in Buenos Aires.
The Column of St. Mark (winged lion symbolizes Venice and also its patron saint, St. Mark) was erected in 2001. This 9 meters tall column is a gift from the Giunta Regionale del Veneto (Government of Veneto) to the city of Buenos Aires in recognition of the unbreakable bond that links Venice and Buenos Aires.
