Sending My Ex A Christmas Card

The owl hidden in the Palacio Municipal

already relatively recently a myth about the City Hall which had about the meaning of their orientation at the level of the city, now I will tell another that also relates to certain Masonic symbolism.

This myth states that
watching the tower of City Hall side, you can see in it the hidden figure of an owl . Of when night is best seen with CAD to watch as one of the eyes in his head made up the top of the tower, ears, beak and claws even be the top of the arches.

In the classical tradition in this animal is associated with the goddess Athena (or Minerva to the Romans), therefore symbolize intelligence. This animal also corresponds to Athena by her look lively and penetrating, like the look of small owls, which houses the Acropolis at night (in our case custodiarĂ­a Plaza Moreno from the top of the tower).

Time Masons then recreated the owl as a symbol of wisdom, and being nocturnal it is related to Masonic work that start at midnight. It is also worth mentioning that there is an owl hidden in $ 1 bill, which as I mentioned before, is full of Masonic symbolism.
