The Monument to the Discovery Faith, also called the Columbus Monument, is a commemorative sculpture located on the outskirts of the Spanish city of Huelva. It was donated to Spain by the United States in 1929.

It is located in the area known as Punta del Sebo (where the Tinto and Odiel rivers converge), built when it was still a natural beach area, located two kilometers from the urban area. It was designed by the American sculptor Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney - and supervised on the spot by Florence J. McAuliffe - in 1929. It was commissioned and financed by the "Columbus Memorial Foundation" two years earlier. It was inaugurated on April 21, 1929.

This image is commonly identified with the figure of Christopher Columbus himself. In this regard, Whitney, in an interview conducted the day before the inauguration for the magazine Blanco y Negro, declared: “I wanted to give my monument a symbolic character. The monument to Columbus therefore does not represent Columbus bodily. It represents the figure of a navigator who looks with visionary eyes towards the West, towards which the famous discoverer must have also looked, when he sensed America ».

The style of the monument, built with stones from the Huelva town of Niebla, can be called cubist and is one of the most notable hallmarks of the city of Huelva.

Measuring approximately 37 meters high, it consists of a human figure resting on a cross in the shape of a "Tau" (Franciscan symbol). On its pedestal there are various bas-reliefs representing the Aztec, Inca, Mayan and Christian cultures, or the four continents: Asia, Africa, Europe and America.

The interior of the pedestal is hollow, and in it you can find reasons related to the discovery and the names of both the discoverers who traveled in the caravels and the members of the foundation that contributed to its creation. There is also a sculptural group representing the Catholic Monarchs.
