About

The Columbus Monument, located at Portal de la Pau Square near the popular La Rambla boulevard, can undoubtedly be called the most prominent landmark in Barcelona. The monument towers over the center and the old port where Columbus returned after his famous voyage.

The monument stands at sixty meters tall and consists of three parts. The base, with two pairs of staircases, is always filled with tourists and locals who come here to relax and take photos. The octagonal pedestal, with symbolic depictions of Catalonia, Leon, Aragon, and Castile, seamlessly transitions into a seven-meter statue of Columbus himself. At the very top of the monument, there is a miniature observation deck, which can be accessed via a similarly compact elevator.
