This statue in Valladolid pays tribute to Christopher Columbus, who died in Valladolid May 20, 1506 and was buried here initially. According to historians, his remains were then relocated to Sevilla in 1509, to Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic in 1542, to Havana, Cuba in 1795 and finally back to the cathedral in Sevilla in 1898, where his tomb can be found today.
