The Colomares Monument is a unique architectural structure located in the town of Benalmádena, in the province of Malaga, Spain. It is a stunning work of art that is a tribute to the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus in 1492. The monument was built between 1987 and 1994, and its creator was Dr. Esteban Martin, a Spanish doctor with a passion for architecture.




The monument is made up of several buildings that have different shapes and sizes, and they all come together to form a stunning and intricate structure. The buildings are adorned with sculptures, mosaics, and other ornamental features that add to the beauty of the monument.



One of the most fascinating aspects of the Colomares Monument is that it tells the story of Christopher Columbus's journey to America through its various architectural elements. For example, the monument's tower represents the caravel that Columbus sailed to the New World, and the central dome symbolizes the globe that Columbus set out to conquer. The monument's walls are decorated with reliefs that depict the life and times of Columbus and his crew, and there are also inscriptions in several languages that celebrate the explorer's achievements.




The Colomares Monument is not just a beautiful piece of architecture; it is also a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of its creator, Dr. Esteban Martin. He designed the monument to be an immersive experience that takes visitors on a journey through time, and he succeeded in creating a work of art that is both aesthetically pleasing and intellectually stimulating.
