Christopher Columbus’s voyage in 1492 redefined the globe, then launched European explorations, conquests, and colonization of the New World. After his death in 1506, the remains of Cristóbal Colón were moved to several places during the next 400 years until returning to Seville in 1898. The pallbearers sculpted by Arturo Melida represent the kingdoms of Castile, Aragon, Leon and Navara.
