Perhaps for the time of repair the sculptures will be removed from their pedestals. Statues of Griffins on Bank Bridge are considered one of the symbols of the city on the Neva River. They will be restored in 2017. After the restoration the golden wings of the fantasy creatures will be vandal protected. Selfie lovers will not be able to climb the statues with legs or paint them. Griffins were installed on the bridge in 1826. In those years, Assignation Bank was close. According to the legend, griffins - the best guardians of gold.
