St Augustine Bridge of Lions
The unique Bridge of Lions is one of St. Augustine
Florida's most noticeable structures, visible in almost
every view of the St. Augustine skyline. The St
Augustine Bridge of
Lions is a double leaf, drawback
bascule bridge that spans St. Augustine's Intercostal Waterway over Mantanza's
Bay, connecting
Anastasia Island with Downtown St. Augustine. Built
in 1926, the bridge is named after the stone lions
situated at the west end of the bridge. The
lions that call the Bridge of Lions home in St.
Augustine were created and designed by Italian sculptor,
Romanelli of Florence Italy and donated by Dr. Andrew
Anderson, a close friend of Henry Flagler, one of St.
Augustine's most renowned developers. Currently, the
lions have been removed while the bridge is being
renovated and preserved. The lions are expected to
return to their original location at the completion on the project
slated for 2010.
 Known
as one of St. Augustine's most famous sites, the Bridge
of Lions is listed on the National Register of Historic
