We had 3 days in this port - so really got to see a lot. Above is Columbus Lighthouse or Faro a Colon. It's a concrete building that is kind of so ugly it's intriguing and Huge (Longer than 2 soccer pitches!). Apparently, they had a worldwide Architectural competition back in 1930's to design - 455 architect's competed - Frank Lloyd Wright from US was amongst them - winner was Scottish architect J.L. Gleave. But construction stopped after foundations and didn't start again until 1986, due to lack of funding and it was dedicated on October 6th, 1992, just before the 500-year anniversary of Columbus's first voyage. Pope John Paul was at dedication, and his pope-mobile is still on property today.  Today it is a mausoleum monument to Christopher Columbus and the above impressive lights in shape of giant Latin cross are only on, at night, for special events. Controversially, they claim to have Columbus's remains there but when we were in Seville, they say their DNA testing proves Columbus is buried there. Apparently, the body of Chris and his is son Diego and brother Bartolome, all got mixed together and it's unclear who is where, further all 3 had the titles of Don Colon & Admiral of the Ocean further adding to confusion. They design really embraced cross motive, all through the structure and all the countries Columbus tried to have colonized / discovered for the New World are noted on the outside of the building - I counted 16.
