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.

The Muelle de las Carabelas is a museum located in La Rábida, in Palos de la Frontera, Huelva. This museum houses replicas of the three caravels used by Christopher Columbus on his first voyage to the American continent: the Niña, the Pinta and the Santa María. The replicas were built in 1992 to commemorate the 5th Centenary of the Discovery of America.
