Monument to the discover of America
It's basically a group of three huge concrete sculptures with embossed inscriptions and figures designed by Joaquin Vaquero Turcios and installed in Colombus square in 1977... Each of the "stones" as a symbolic meaning: Profecy, Genesis and Discover.

reflet et photo de nuit vraiment magnifique. Le manège de François Delaroziére n'est pas encore à Madrid ?
reflection and photo really beautiful night. The carousel of Francis Delarozière is not yet in Madrid?
Absolutely gorgeous photo and monument! Well done. & I am also very partial to the discovery ;)
so very nice!
This perfect picture is just breathtaking ; with the help of the light the engraving and the different curved or flat sides are wonderfully set off against the darkness
Una foto magnifica di una scultura bellissima!! Davvero splendida!
It looks really amazing ,how is it by day light ?
They have lit this monument so very well. And you have taken a splendid night time photograph showing such a grand reflection. Just wonderful ...
I don't know how they look during the day but Your night picture make them look amazing... The idea of the water reflection is also a great plus!
But I guess the water had to be around if it is about discovering America!!
A fantastic massive monument that somehow reminds me of pre-colombian art. Awesome picture, Tr3nta!
The monuments are beautiful!
What can I say more ? As usual. Awesome !
The night light and the water reflection make it great, but without the carvings, the monument would be only stones.
I love the light and the reflections. Beautiful!
The sculptures look very interesting and the lighting's dramatic. And your photo is gorgeous especially with that perfect reflection!

Awesome! The reflection on the water alone is enough to turn me green with envy. =)
