Monumento al Indiano y a la Marina de Castilla, Memorial tower on Peña Cabarga mountain, Spain
The monument stands as a circular base tower with a bridge-like entrance structure, rising from the peak of Peña Cabarga mountain at 569 meters elevation.
Architects Angel Hernandez Morales and engineer Jose Calavera Ruiz designed this monument, which opened on July 8, 1968 to commemorate Spanish emigrants to America.
The structure honors both the Cantabrian emigrants who returned from America with fortunes and the maritime legacy of the Castilian navy in the region.
Visitors can access a 23-square-meter camera obscura inside the monument and enjoy the restaurant that reopened in 2007 after renovations.
The monument incorporates a television signal repeater station, combining technological functionality with its commemorative purpose while providing regional broadcasting services.
