The Rio Tinto Dock, also known as Muelle del Tinto, is one of Huelva's most iconic industrial monuments, steeped in history and architectural beauty. It was built between 1874 and 1876 by the Rio Tinto Company Limited, a British company that operated the Rio Tinto mines. Its main function was to serve as a copper ore loading dock, using a gravity loading system that allowed wagons to be unloaded without machinery.

The Monument to the Faith of the Discoverer, also known as the Columbus Monument, is one of the most representative symbols of the city of Huelva. It is located at Punta del Sebo, a natural setting where the Tinto and Odiel rivers meet, approximately 4 km from the city center.

Its size is surprising, as it resembles a cathedral more than a traditional church. It was built in the 18th century on the site of a former 14th-century Mudejar-style parish church.

It was designed by the American sculptor Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney and donated to Spain by the United States in 1929. The sculpture, in Cubist style and inspired by Egypt, is 37 metres high and represents a Franciscan friar from the Monastery of La Rábida. This friar welcomed Christopher Columbus while he was planning his first voyage and awaiting confirmation of funding from the Spanish monarchs. The pedestal of the monument includes reliefs depicting Mayan, Aztec, Inca and Christian elements.
