The Columbus Monument, 60 meters high, was built to commemorate the triumphant return of navigator Columbus from his first expedition to the Americas in 1492. On top of the monument is a statue of Columbus. Barcelona was the first place to hear Columbus officially announce the discovery of the New World and the description of the strange new world. The majestic cylindrical monument was built entirely of ochre marble with two lines "Glory belongs to Columbus" and "Salute to Columbus". Columbus at the top of the cylinder, made of melted cast iron from cannons in front of Montjayk Castle, is the largest Columbus statue in the world. It shows Columbus's gaze, his right arm pointing to the ocean ahead, and he faces the New World of America. There are five flying goddesses around the center of the pillar, eight huge black lions around the base, inscriptions of Columbus's voyages, and sculptures of King Ferdinand and Queen who supported his expedition at that time. The location of the watchtower is also meaningful. It is the end of Lambra Avenue and the starting point of the port area. It symbolizes the connection between the city centre and the harbour. The reliefs on all sides of the base represent Columbus's discovery of the New World. On the west side of the street is the Queen of Spain's voyage to Columbus; on the north is Columbus's voyage sailing boat, with the words "Columbus dedicated the New World to the Kingdom of Castillia and Leon" on the earth below; on the east, Columbus presented his voyage plan to the bishop; and on the south, Pilar's image of the Virgin. She was the patron saint of the discovery of the New World. Below are the names of the three ships that made their first voyage. Below the monument is the entrance to the Madrid Art Center and a large sculpture depicting Columbus's voyage. The wax museum is opposite the statue in Columbus Square. The lion was ravaged by N kinds of shapes.

    This monument in Barcelona is particularly interesting. It can be seen from the name that this monument is in Columbus this year. If you are interested, you can search the history of Columbus on the Internet. It is still very meaningful.

    The Columbus Monument is a monument in Barcelona, Spain, 60 meters high, commemorating Christopher • Columbus. It is located at the southeast end of Las Ramblas, the site where Columbus returned to Spain after its first voyage to the Americas. The monument reminds people that Barcelona is where Christopher Columbus reported to Isabella I and Ferdinand II after his most famous voyage. Meanwhile, the Columbus statue at the top of the monument is the only one in Spain that does not point toward the American continent. Instead, the Columbus finger at the top of the monument is in the direction of Algeria, a northern African country. This sculpture commemorating Christopher • Columbus is located in the center of Barcelona's Plaza de la Paz Peace Square, designed by architect Gaieta Buigas and completed in 1888 at the end of Las Ramblas, as part of the Barhamrona World Expo.

    The Mirador de Colom (Columbus Monument) stands on the coast of Barcelona's old port area, Columbus Square. We took the Blue Line Tourist Bus to the Columbus Monument twice. The first night I saw the night view of the monument, and the next afternoon I climbed the top of the monument (3 Euros) and had a good view of the seaside.
