Ancient Greek Lion Statue from Piraeus Now Adorns Venice's Arsenal
The famous ancient lion statue from Greek Piraeus is today located in the Arsenale of Venice and is part of a longer history of looting ancient Greek masterpieces. Many of these valuable sculptures have been plundered throughout history and are now dispersed in museums and historical sites around the world. The imposing lion statue represents an example of Greece's cultural heritage that is now located outside its country of origin.
