Isabella and Columbus Monument

8 reviews of Isabella and Columbus Monument

In honour of discovery

Although it is known with this name it was really made as a tribute to the discovery, represented in the act on which it was decided to begin the adventure. It is recalled that Columbus was received in Santa Fe when the Catholic Kings where besieging Granada.

It is located in the centre of Granada, surrounded by a small garden with a fountain. It used to be in Paseo del Salón but here it stands out more. The square is decorated with exotic trees, even though the views are too modern for the aesthetic of the monument. The figures were modelled in Rome, by Mariano Benlliure in 1892.

The mausoleum on which it is now installed is local work, adorned with various medals and the names of civil and religious people of the time.
