Colon Monument

Cuauhtémoc, Mexico

The Monument to Christopher Columbus, located at the intersection of av. Buenavista and Héroes Ferrocarrileros, in the Cuauhtémoc section of Mexico City, was inaugurated in 1892, for the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' landfall in the Caribbean. The statue is the only one depicting Columbus in Mexico City; Charles Cordier's Monument to Christopher Columbus (1877) had been installed on Paseo de la Reforma but was moved outside the city following protests in 2020.
