Columbus Monument

<nil>

Standing at the base of La Rambla, the Columbus Monument is one of Barcelona’s most iconic landmarks. Erected in 1888 for the Universal Exposition, this impressive 60-meter-tall column honors Christopher Columbus, who returned to Spain through Barcelona after his first voyage to the Americas in 1493. At the top of the column, Columbus is depicted pointing out to the sea, though contrary to popular belief, he is not pointing toward the New World but rather toward the Mediterranean. The monument itself is rich in symbolism, with sculptures representing the Catholic Monarchs, maritime achievements, and the explorers who shaped history. Visitors stopping here will learn about Barcelona’s historical role in maritime trade and exploration, as well as the city's connection to Columbus and the Age of Discovery. The area around the monument is also a great place to experience the lively atmosphere of Port Vell and La Rambla, making it a key highlight of any tour through the city.
