Petersburg: The Hunt for Owls in Architectural Decor

For Browsing

In the decorations of facades, entrances, and roofs of St. Petersburg houses, one can find a large number of owls. Owls are considered symbols of wisdom. They protect the home from evil and bring good luck to the residents, so it is not surprising that these birds appeared as decor on St. Petersburg houses alongside lions, flowers, and other representatives of the animal and plant world. Finding them is no easy task, so we invite you on an exciting owl-hunting walk.
