Pomnik Pyry w Poznaniu, Memorial stone in Wilda district, Poland.
The Potato Monument consists of a 5-ton glacial erratic boulder shaped like a potato, located in John Paul II Park in Poznan.
The monument was unveiled in September 2007 during the fifth edition of Pyrlandia Days, celebrating the potato culture of the region.
The potato monument represents a fundamental element of Poznan residents' identity, as locals are often referred to as 'Pyry' after the regional word for potato.
Visitors can find the monument in the central part of John Paul II Park, surrounded by green spaces and walking paths.
During the unveiling ceremony, a Peruvian Indian village was set up around the monument to honor the potato's South American origins.
