Sundial Multicaja-Zaragoza, Horizontal sundial in Parque de Oriente, Zaragoza, Spain.

The Multicaja-Zaragoza sundial features a 46-meter long gnomon rising over 30 meters high with a horizontal dial embedded in the pavement.

The installation of the primary gnomon structure took place between October 30 and November 3, 2009, following the agreement between Zaragoza City Council and Multicaja.

Engineer Juan Antonio Ros Lasierra combined scientific precision with artistic design, incorporating silhouettes of an adult and child on the gnomon's front face.

The sundial projects a shadow extending up to 500 meters in length and indicates time with a precision of up to 15 seconds during daylight hours.

The Guinness World Records certified this timepiece as the largest sundial globally on July 10, 2013, surpassing the previous record held in Jaipur, India.
