Fodor's Review:
This 60-meter (200-foot) tall monument at the foot of the Rambla marks the spot where Christopher Columbus stepped back onto Spanish soil in 1493 after discovering America. A viewing platform at the top (reached by elevator; entrance is on the harbor side) gives a bird's-eye view of the city.
