Magnifique monument situé en bas de la plus grande avenue de Barcelone Las Ramblas. C’est un point culminant de la ville avec ses lions imposants tout autour de la statue.

We bought ticket ahead of time so didn't have to wait in line. The lift to go to top is small so only a few people can go up at once. Michael was our lift operator. He was very nice and very knowable

We actually did not go on an organized tour to see this nice monument. Rather, we were on a self-guided tour that took us down (North to South) La Rambla where in we ended at the port and thus the monument of Columbus. The Columbus Monument is a 197 foot monument to Christopher Columbus. It was constructed for the Exposición Universal de Barcelona (1888) in honor of Columbus' first voyage to the Americas. The monument serves as a reminder that Columbus reported to Queen Isabella I and King Ferdinand V in Barcelona after his first trip to the new continent. At the very top of the monument is a 24 ft bronze statue on a 131 foot Corinthian column. The statue was sculpted by Rafael Atché. Legend is that it depicts Columbus pointing towards the New World with his right hand, while holding a scroll in the left. However, more likely the statue is situated in the current way simply to have Columbus point out to sea underscoring his achievements in naval exploration. The monument and plaza surrounding it are detailed and ornate. Definitely worth seeing when in Barcelona.
