Statue of Christopher Columbus, Bronze statue in Bayfront Park, Miami, United States
The bronze statue of Christopher Columbus stands near the waterfront, featuring the explorer in a commanding stance with detailed Renaissance period clothing.
The memorial became a focal point of public protests in June 2020, when demonstrators covered it with red paint and protest messages during social justice movements.
The monument reflects changing perspectives on colonial history, sparking discussions about representation of historical figures in public spaces across Miami communities.
Visitors can reach the statue by taking the Metromover to Bayfront Park station or parking at the nearby garages on Biscayne Boulevard.
Local business owner Adam Gersten offered $5,000 to remove the statue and transform it into an artificial coral reef in Miami waters.
