According to Taino legend, Cacique Marocael was entrusted with guarding Cacibajagua, the sacred cave from which the first people of the island emerged. One day, he failed to return to his post in time, and as a consequence, the sun's relentless rays turned him to stone.

This statue captures the solemn beauty of that mythic moment—Marocael frozen in noble form, eternally embodying both his duty and his fate.
