In the XVI-XVII centuries, Valladolid was the capital of Spain, the last years of the life of the Discoverer of America, Christopher Columbus, passed here. Let someone sailed to America much earlier, but it took place secretly, and for the whole Old World, the discovery of a new continent was precisely the voyage of Columbus. The circumstances of the life and death of the Great Navigator are contradictory in different sources - according to one version, he died in Valladolid in 1506. There is no reliable information about the house where he lived - in the 19th century, the house, which was considered the home of Columbus, was imprudently demolished during the redevelopment of city streets.→
