I saw these interesting statues this morning, on a walk while visiting relatives in Brunete, Madrid.
Some cultures regard lion statues as a symbol of power, good luck and a protection. I thought the fact that these lions were looking inwards was a bit strange. In any case, I hadn’t seen anything like it recently, and they do look rather nice, although I’m not sure I’d like the fierce growl of the lions looking into my house myself!
I’m not sure what these might symbolise. They look like gardeners to me, or could they be leprechauns, in Madrid! Any ideas?
I’m not sure if these are eagles, falcons, or hawks, are you? They certainly look like birds of prey, at least they’re looking away from the house, but I’m not sure they’re very welcoming for visitors!

So interesting and I agree, I think I’d prefer the lions be looking out, not in!!

I agree, the little men look like gnomes you find in gardens, and the birds, birds of prey and could be any of what you suggested. Room for the imagination to take over, for sure… thank you for sharing.
