"Birth of a New Man" is the largest bronze sculpture in Spain. This work by the Russian-Georgian sculptor Zurab Tsereteli, inaugurated in 1995, was a donation from the Moscow City Council to the city of Seville.

The monument "Nacimiento de Un Hombre Nuevo" pays tribute to the famous sailor CHRISTOPH COLUMBUS (born around 1451, died 1506). He undertook his great voyages of discovery, which make him famous to this day - from the European mainland across the Atlantic to the west and looking for the sea route to India - on behalf of the Spanish crown, but he was born in Genoa (Italy).

However, the name of the huge double continent that he discovered in 1492 (without even suspecting this) was borrowed from another explorer: his contemporary AMERIGO VESPUCCI became the namesake for America.

The Columbus Monument, also known as the Egg of Columbus, is an impressive monument located on the Paseo de Catalina de Ribera in the Santa Cruz district of Seville. The monument was built in 1921 and is a tribute to the famous explorer Christopher Columbus. The monument consists of a base and two stone columns, with bronze caravels in the center and bronze plaques with the names of Isabella and Ferdinand on the sides. On the base are two marble medallions with the chest of Columbus and the coat of arms of the Catholic Monarchs1. On top is a lion with a sphere.
