Statue of Christopher Columbus, Marble statue near Little Italy, Baltimore, United States
The statue depicts Christopher Columbus facing east on Eastern Avenue, holding a rolled map and resting his right hand on a globe.
Italian American Organizations United of Maryland dedicated this monument to Baltimore in 1984, with President Ronald Reagan attending the ceremony.
The monument features six bas-reliefs on its hexagonal base depicting Columbus's ships, his birthplace in Genoa, and encounters with indigenous peoples.
The statue remained at its original location until July 4, 2020, when protesters removed it and submerged it in the Inner Harbor.
After retrieval from the water, the marble statue broke into three pieces, leading the Italian American community to plan a reproduction for a secure location.
