Pi-Chacán, Marble sculpture at University Hospital, Germany.
The Pi-Chacán sculpture stands 4.2 meters tall and is made of red Verona marble, weighing 32 tons at Tübingen University Hospital.
Fernando de la Jara installed this monumental sculpture in 2001 at the end of the Street of Arts, facing the university's medical buildings.
The name Pi-Chacán originates from Quechuan language, referring to locations where water creates tunnels through rock formations or mountains.
The sculpture maintains wheelchair accessibility and stands at the intersection of the Anatomy, Microbiology, and Virology building entrances.
In 2014, firefighters rescued an American exchange student who became trapped inside the sculpture while attempting an unusual photograph.
