MONUMENT TO ISABELLE THE CATHOLIC
Go there and contact
Here is another monument that will serve as a landmark for your strolls in Granada since it is nearby that you take the bus to go to the Realejo or the Alhambra and that it is at the junction of the two most important and most commercial streets of the city. Created in 1892 by the Valencian sculptor Mariano Benlliure, one of the most important sculptors of that time, with the aim of commemorating the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of the Americas. Illustrating one of the most important moments in the history of Spain, this monument consists of a two-metre sculpture of Isabella the Catholic, sitting on a beautiful Gothic chair, and another two-metre sculpture, that of Christopher Columbus, kneeling to submit his projects to the Queen before embarking on his journey to India. Made of bronze by the "lost wax" system, this set is placed on a pedestal made of Sierra Elvira stones.
