Chur
Arcas Fountain

The Arcas Fountain is made of gneiss from Andeer, a village above Thusis on the San Bernardino road. Its theme is the spirits of Scalära, the special hell of the people of Chur. According to this legend, the bodies of sinners were dug up and taken by two Capuchins to the Scaläratobel valley, where they had to atone for their sins.
