Description
Beautiful sculpture in Montreal in front of
The Sun Life Tower.
The Lion of Belfort is a reclining British Imperial Lion, facing East towards the United Kingdom. The Lion appears reposed, calm and alert—indicating the city is safe. The lion was sculpted by George William Hill, who was inspired by the Lion of Belfort by Frédéric Bartholdi, atop a granite base by Robert Findlay. It was inaugurated on May 24, 1897.
The Lion is placed at the eastern side along Metcalfe and formed the eastern point in the cross. It was initially part of a fountain established for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee by the Sun Life Assurance Company prior to the development of the Sun Life Building. George William Hill was inspired, as a inscription carved in the stone notes, by the Lion of Belfort.
