The monument contains an elevator inside taking you up to Columbus’s feet where you can enjoy a breathtaking view over the port and the whole city.

Apart from the Columbus monument you can see a small antiques market and an amazingly beautiful building of the ancient seaport. I consider it to be one of the most beautiful buildings in the whole city.
