Monument to the Discovery Faith
The Monument to the Discovery Faith, popularly known as el Monumento a Colón is a monument in Huelva, Spain. It is a work by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney.
Funded via a popular subscription in the United States channeled by the Columbus Memorial Fund Inc. the monument, 37-metre high, was built from 1927 to 1929. Erected on the Punta del Sebo, the confluence of the Tinto and Odiel rivers, it was inaugurated on 21 April 1929, during a ceremony attended by Miguel Primo de Rivera and the US ambassador Ogden H. Hammond.
The sculpted man (leaning on a Tau cross) is sometimes described as representing a friar from La Rábida, yet it originally was described (including by the author herself) as a statue of Christopher Columbus.
It consists of a mortar structure covered by ashlar masonry (calcarenite).[1]
