Classic European lions

... And unicorns??

Europe used to have lions, especially southern Europe.

Is "southern Europe" what they used to call colonies in Africa?

If you go back far enough there were now extinct lions in northern Europe as well. But wild lions as we know them today existed in Greece, the Balkans, etc. Even as late as the 10th century CE.
