Castillo de Colomares

With an eclectic mix of Neo-Byzantine, Neo-Romanesque, Neo-Gothic, and Neo-Mudéjar styles, the Castillo de Colomares is a unique gem that reflects the rich history and culture of Spain. Built with brick, stone, and cement, the building also features stunning stained glass windows inside, adding a touch of beauty and color to the ensemble.

The monument is full of symbolism, representing elements from the three cultures present in medieval Spain: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Additionally, it pays tribute to the Catholic Monarchs and to those who accompanied Columbus on his first voyage, including Diego Arana and Vicente Yáñez.

One of the most striking features of the Castillo de Colomares is its footprint of 1,500 square meters, making it the largest monument dedicated to Christopher Columbus. Inside, there is a small chapel measuring only 1.96 square meters, dedicated to Saint Elizabeth of Hungary. This chapel, which is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the smallest church in the world, is a testament to the skill and dedication of its builders.

In addition to the chapel, the Castillo de Colomares houses an empty mausoleum, symbolizing Columbus
