You have listened “If you don’t like it, go complain to the Pila del Mono”
With this phrase begins a story that many of the adults of old times expressed and used to
ignore the complaints and claims of their children or grandchildren. At the end of that
sentence it was assumed that it was not necessary to insist, it was like having lost the
battle. Of course, no one would look for the pila del mono to complain, because
this is located one block from the Plaza de Bolívar. Its construction is linked to the history
of the water shortage of the capital of Boyacense. La Pila Del Mono or also known as the
Mono de la Pila, is a monument and small square located in the Historic Center of
Tunja. This monument was erected in the main square and for three centuries, it was the
place where the inhabitants of the city supplied themselves with water, from the Germania
and Tras del Alto.
The monkey represents the god of silence. He has the right index finger on his lips, telling
the water-bearers to refrain from talking during the moment of collecting the water.
CONCLUSION
Has the finger in the mouth, telling the water collectors not to talk so much while collecting
