Description

Carved from a single ten-tonne block of local marble, it is inspired by the myth of Pyrene and Hercules. According to legend, Pyrene died following an attack by wolves. Devastated by grief, Hercules, in love with her, built her tomb by gathering countless stones, thus giving birth to the Pyrenees mountain range.
