France
As is known, the rooster is a symbol of France, since the initial name of the country - Gallium - comes from the Latin word "Gulza", which means both the "Galov tribe", and "rooster". Gallic rooster was concerned about the coins of France, and on its emblem. An image of this bird everywhere can be found in the form of bas-reliefs on various buildings. The rooster is also a symbol of the National Olympic Committee of France. So all sporting events take place under his sign. Gold plated Gallic rooster is an element of the decoration of the fleet of the Elysees Palace. The most famous monument to this bird is installed in the French city of Sizun.
Portugal
This country also read the rooster as its symbol. True, the legend of fried rooster from Barcelusha was based on the basis. According to the legend, in the XVII century, a terrible injustice was not accomplished in this city: the local judge sentenced to hanging in any no obey person. In the last word, the accused exclaimed: "If I'm innocent, then let the roasted rooster fit when they hang me!" At the time of bringing execution to the execution of the fried rooster on the table, the judges really jumped up and began to squeeze. Innocent was saved. Since then, the rooster from Barcelusch became a symbol not just the city, but also the whole country - as an personification of justice. And the stone monument with the image of the rooster, the judges and sentence decorates the main square of Barcelusha. The figures of the black and red rooster in Portugal can be bought in each souvenir shop.
Cuba

But since 1981, he settled on the main urban Avenid-Taraf Avenue.

In this country there are whole two famous monuments of Petukhu. One that is quite logical is located in the city of Bremen. Of course, here the rooster is only part of the composition "Bremen Musicians". This beloved by all the monument stands on the central square of the city near the town hall. The rooster, as it should be, at the very top of the pyramid, consisting of the heroes of the famous fairy tale of the Brothers Grimm. The monument is made to make a desire. And this year, I think the composition will have a special miraculous force.
The second Knutchu monument in Germany is located in the city of Münster. According to the legend, the rooster of Münster saved the city from a long siege. It happened, however, thanks to whether tricks, whether the owner of the bird. In the XVI century, the city was in the rings of enemies. After a long siege in Münster, it was almost no food left, and the enemies remained only to wait, when the godded gods, the gates themselves. But one resident who remained a living rooster, decided to release him to take a walk along the fortress wall. According to another version, the owner decided to weld soup out of the last rooster, but he broke out and was on a high wall. Be that as it may, but the invaders, seeing the bird that calmly walks along the bastions, having worked out with his cry, decided that in the city there is plenty of food, and removed the siege. The townspeople noted the merit of the rooster, who saved the city, perpetuating him in stone.

The sculpture appeared in the Finnish capital to the century of the foundation of this famous chocolate company in 1991. This is the most original monument to "Kukarek", since the sculptor Bjorn Vecherre depicted it in the form of a vertebral skeleton with wings. Elk is the most popular hoof in Finland. So I combined the author two characters in one creation.
Norway
In the capital of Norway Oslo there is a monument to a whole cock family. It is called "Chicken Fountain". The composition of granite and bronze, depicting an important rooster in the company of two chickens, is simultaneously a fountain. Near him love to be photographed tourists.
