CRISTOFORO COLOMBO
This monument, erected on the occasion of the 1992 Quncentennial Jubilee celebrating the discovery of America, pays tribute to Cristoforo Colombo and his seafaring companions. Their bold voyage led to a historic encounter between the European world and the Americas. A turning point in Western Civilization, this event paved the way for the spreading of the Gospel and the establishment of a society anchored on the principles of Christian love and holiness.
1492 - 1992
Gift of the Lido Civic Club of Washington, D.C.
