Description
Please take attention to the two lions' heads above the doorway. The "king of the beasts" is always a favorite animal symbol in architecture. In early Rome people associated the lion with his royal, imperious nature. As the one who ruled other wild animals, a lion was supposed to convey courage, power, and strength to this early imperium. During the rules of Caesar, many political and military leaders had their own lion's head which served as a door knocker, regular sculpture, etc. The lion was the symbol of the fallen hero and was also used as the guardian of gates, temples, and buildings. The keyword symbolics of lion figure includes above-average wisdom, power, dignity, courage, authority, dominion, royalty, and both ferocity and justice. Basically, the lion symbolizes a strong and good ruler.
