This is a sundial located in the Macroplaza. These devices can tell the time by showing the shadow that the sun produces, you can see the roman numerals on the back.
It was installed in the 80s, as a gift from Monterrey's astronomers association.
The only problem is that the trees surrounding it grew enough to cast a shadow most of the day, so it became a sculpture.
Este reloj solar está en la Macroplaza. Estos relojes pueden mostrar la hora por la sombra que el sol produce, se pueden ver los números romanos en la parte de atrás.
Fué instalado en los 80s, donado por la sociedad astronómica de Monterrey.
El único problema es que los árboles que lo rodean crecieron lo suficiente para dejarlo en sombra la mayor parte del día, así que lo convirtieron en una escultura.

Even if it doesn't function as a timepiece, it's lovely artwork. Enjoy learning about Monterrey through your blog, Rafa. Thanks! All the best.
