Monument a Colom, Monumento a Colón, Mirador de Colón

Spain, Barcelona

The Columbus Monument is a 60-meter monument dedicated to Christopher Columbus. The monument serves as a reminder that after his first trip to America, Columbus returned to Barcelona, and it was in this place that the monument was built in 1888.

The Columbus Monument consists of three parts: a round base with stairs and statues of lions, an octagonal pedestal and a Corinthian column with a statue of Christopher Columbus at the top.

Barcelona through the eyes of Columbus.

This is a beautiful monument and one of the symbols of Barcelona. The monument is a column 60 meters high, with a sculpture of Christopher Columbus on top, located near the Rambla in Portal de la Pau. This is not only a monument, but also an observation deck, which can be reached by elevator for 4 €. Opens at 8:30. Great place for photographers and panoramic shots!→
