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
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).
