Columbus through the masts

The Monument a Colom was built for the Exposición Universal de Barcelona (Universal Exhibition) in 1888. It celebrates Columbus's return after discovering America in 1492. You can get a lift up 60m through the inside of the column to the viewing platform at the top for birds-eye views of Barcelona (see previous pictures). More on the Columbus Monument from Wikipedia
