9. If you are in Brussels, most likely you will definitely see this Manneken Pis. This is the symbol of Brussels, this statue also known as Mannequin Pis. Brussels say that it is installed as a reminder of the events grimbergenskoy War, when the cradle with her son Godfrey III of Leuven was hung on a tree for view of the future monarch to encourage citizens, and the child urinated on from there fighting soldiers under the tree.

11. Like many of the statues in this gallery, nu*e hero Michelangelo – David had to stand outside, but he was kept in the protective walls of the museum since 1873. From the beginning he was a patriotic symbol of the Florentine Republic. (MIMMO FRASSINETI / Rex Features)

12. This statue has repeatedly called one of the ugliest in the world, but still worth a look at this monument to Peter the Great, if you pass by in Moscow. The statue is so unpopular in 1997 that she even offered to send it to St. Petersburg. However, this proposal was rejected.(Oleksiy Maksymenko / Alamy)
