#2304. Historical facade with decorative animal heads and textured niches

The image shows a fragment of a historical building facade executed in a classical style. Particularly noteworthy is a row of five elongated windows framed in light-colored stonework, presumably limestone or sandstone. The architectural composition demonstrates clear rhythm and symmetry.

Above each window opening is a semi-circular niche with textured ornamental filling consisting of multiple small indentations, creating an interesting play of light and shadow. Between the windows, at the level of the upper part of the openings, decorative sculptural elements in the form of animal heads—presumably lions or mythical creatures—are placed, which is characteristic of Neo-Gothic or Neo-Renaissance architecture.

The lower part of the composition is adorned with rectangular panels featuring similar textured filling that echoes the semi-circular niches above the windows, creating unity in the architectural solution. The window frames themselves are modern, made of dark metal or plastic, indicating renovation of the building while preserving the historical appearance of the facade.

The fine elaboration of details, proportionality of elements, and thoughtful rhythm testify to the high mastery of the architect and stonemasons who created this structure, likely in the late 19th or early 20th century.
