There is a very impressive statue of Christopher Columbus near the waterfront. It was constructed in 1888 for the World Exposition held in Barcelona. It was to commemorate Columbus’s 1492 voyage to the Americas which took ten weeks. On his return he reported to Queen Isabella 1st and King Frederick V in Barcelona. Also there was an amazing number of mega yachts moored in Port Vell - probably most registered in the Bahamas.
