Description
Two standing lions, one of them with open jaw. It are bronze copies of the two lions that originally decorated the square and that were very popular in the town. The copies were made in 2001 by Pablo Curbelo to protect the original ochre painted cement lions, made in 1920 by Francisco Spínola Gómez and Juan Martín, natives of Teguise. The orignals are now on the patio of the Palacio Spínola.
