    Visitors explored one of the world's largest piggy banks in Raquira on Saturday.

    Footage shows theme park owner and piggy bank builder Guillermo Suarez who built the world-famous piggy bank in his own oversized dimensions. With a height of 8.7 metres and a length of 10.30 metres, the clay figure become one of the most popular tourist attractions of the local community in recent days.

    "It is a great pig with its little viewpoint that people can go out to the trumpet as a family and take a picture in the entire centre of the pig," stated Guillermo Suarez, owner of the theme park.

    Made of steel, concrete and clay, the sculpture was said to consist of two floors. A gallery would be set up on the first floor in the next few days, while the second floor currently offered a terrace with a vantage point from which visitors could take photos.
