The Columbus Monument is a sculptural ensemble located in the Portal de la Paz square in Barcelona, in the Ciutat Vella district. Built in homage to the discoverer Christopher Columbus, it is erected at the junction point between the Ramblas and the Paseo de Colón, in front of the old port of Barcelona. The author of the project was the architect Cayetano Buigas, and various artists took part in the sculptural decoration, such as Eduard B. Alentorn, Rafael Atché, Pere Carbonell, Manuel Fuxá, Josep Llimona, Rossend Nobas, Antoni Vilanova, Francisco Pagés and Agapito Vallmitjana. The foundry was by Alejandro Wohlguemuth.1

The monument was built in the context of the works to improve the Barcelona coastline carried out on the occasion of the Universal Exhibition of Barcelona in 1888. Inaugurated on June 1, 1888, in full exhibition, it immediately became one of the most characteristic icons from the city. Inside the column there is an elevator that allows you to go up to the hemisphere located under the feet of the statue, from where you can see the city.
