The permanent collection at the Monument to Columbus in Barcelona centres on the cast-iron column rising at the end of La Rambla, standing close to 60 metres high. According to the account given, Christopher Columbus reached North America while searching for India, and the monument was erected to commemorate that supposed discovery of America.
The statue crowning the column faces a different direction from the one the navigator intended to follow, a detail that forms part of the visit. The venue, which hosts exhibitions and cultural activities, allows visitors to take a lift to the top of the monument, which makes it accessible to visitors of varied profiles who want to see the building from above and understand its urban history.
