Tomb of Colon

The tomb of Christopher Columbus (1451-1506, Cristobal Colon in Spanish) was only erected early in the 20th century after his remains returned to Seville from Cuba. His coffin is carried by life-size pall-bearing statues representing the kingdoms of Castile, Leon, Aragon and Navarre.
