Good views even on a somewhat rainy day. We took the elevator to the top of the monument. This was included as part of the Barcelona Family card. Easy, quick admission to the top. The elevator holds 4 people including the guide to the top. Small viewing section at the top. We loved the signage that points out what you are looking at in the distance. Nothing much in the lobby to look at No public restrooms.

The statue of Christopher Columbus is here, in this area. It’s a congested area with pedestrians and vehicles and it's close to a main bus and train station on the water. Just like many other areas and things in the city, vandals have tagged portions of it with their nasty graffiti.

It is located a stone's throw from the seafront and a stone's throw from the end of the Rambla. It is a monument dedicated to Christopher Columbus, about this statue there are many theories about what and where it points to. I recommend going to visit it as it is close to many important attractions.

Impressive monument to the explorer who lost his way enroute to India. The monument includes a grand carved base, and a 60-meter column with statue of Columbus at the top. Located at the end of Las Ramblas near the waterfront. The monument was built for the Barcelona Exhibition of 1888.

Good place to see Barcelona from a bird's eye view Montjuic Castle is an old military fortress located on Montjuic Mountain, in the city of Barcelona. The fortress was an installation of the Spanish Army, although it was later transferred to the city council, who currently manages it.

The Mirador de Colom is an imposing column at the end of the Ramblas, dedicated to Christopher Columbus. You can climb to the top by lift, 60 meters high, to enjoy a panoramic view of the sea, the port and the rooftops of Barcelona. This unique vantage point offers a magnificent view of the city. An Attraction I recommend.

The statue is located at the end of La Rambla, almost opposite the pedestrian and revolving bridge. The statue is majestic, representing Christopher Columbus who, on his return from the Indies, presents himself to Isabella of Castile. If you want you can also climb.

Dedicated to the traveller and discoverer Christopher Columbus, this monument can be found walking along the Boulevard Rambla, facing the Plaza Portal de la Pau in Barcelona. The impressive monument, 60 meters high, was built for the 1888 World's Fair and is located in the place where Columbus returned from his first voyage to America. It is a reminder that Columbus visited Queen Isabella I and King Ferdinand II in Barcelona. The monument located on the square consists of three parts: a statue, a column and pedestal. The navigator himself is made in the form of a bronze statue, it is the fruit of the skill of the sculptor Rafael Atche. The sculpture stands 7 meters high, with a geographic map held in her right hand, and her left hand pointing to the sea. There is a statue of Columbus on a Corinthian metal column, topped by four bronzed female images, each symbolizing a different continent of the world: Europe, Asia, Africa and America. -More information can be found on the website - which I will link to below. Inside the column of the monument is an elevator, climbing which you can see an amazing panorama of the historical part of the city, as well as the sea and mountains. Alas, we never dared to go upstairs - after a good look at the monument outside.

Even if it doesn’t look like it, it remains the central point of Barcelona’s old town. The departure of the Rambla and the port of Barcelona. This great monument remains visitable. At the very top, there is the statue of Christopher Columbus, with his finger, he indicates America, finally, the Caribbean. To say that he could have met another Italian who lived at the same time and in the same town, namely Govanni Cabotto, who would listen to the accounts of the sailors and later introduce himself to the English court to become an explorer himself, under his new name, John Cabot.
