Designed by architect Joe Gleave, this monument to Christopher Columbus is a cross 46 meters tall and constructed of completely white marble. It has housed the remains of the explorer since his tomb was moved from the Cathedral of Saint Maria the Lesser in 1992. At night, powerful lights illuminate this Christian symbol and project its shadow against the sky. Areas inside the monument are used as exhibition rooms, archives, a library and a museum. Admission costs about DOP20 for adults, DOP5 for children and students.
