Valladolid
Valladolid is a city in Spain and the de facto capital of the autonomous region of Castile and Leon.
The historic centre of Valladolid, the city on the Pisuerga River, is home to an interesting collection of Renaissance architecture comprising houses, palaces and emblematic buildings such as the Cathedral, the College of San Gregorio (today the site of the National Sculpture Museum) and the church of San Pablo.
The historic centre of Valladolid conserves an important monumental and architectural heritage, particularly comprising noble houses and religious buildings. A highlight among these is the unfinished cathedral. The original design for the project was commissioned by King Philip II from the architect Juan de Herrera in the 16th century. The death of both men meant the cathedral remained unfinished, and its central section was not opened until 1668. Years later in 1730, the Master Churriguera completed the work on the main facade. Inside the cathedral, the main chapel houses a magnificent altarpiece produced by Juan de Juni in 1562. The space also includes the Diocesan Museum, containing a number of carved images attributed to Gregorio Fernández and to Juni himself, in addition to a silver monstrance by Juan de Arfe.
Other religious buildings of interest are the Gothic church of Santiago, with an interesting altarpiece depicting the Adoration of the Magi made by Berruguete in 1537; and the church of Santa María la Antigua, with its unusual Romanesque tower crowned with a pyramid.
Presided by a statue of Ansúrez, the 16th-century Plaza Mayor square is in the very heart of the city. On one of its sides stands the town hall, dating from the start of the century and crowned by the clock tower. The surrounding streets are home to a large number of stately houses and palaces. Pimentel Palace, today the site of the Regional Government, is one of the most important, as it was here on 21 May 1527 that King Philip II was born. Other highlights include the 16th-century palace of the Marquises of Valverde and the palace of the banker Fabio Nelli, a building in the classical style whose construction was begun in 1576. It is today home to the Valladolid Museum, which contains a display of furniture, sculpture, paintings and ceramics.
Evidence of Valladolid's cultural importance can be seen in theUniversity building –whose Baroque façade is decorated with various academic symbols–, and in Santa Cruz College –which in addition to containing a valuable library, is one of the earliest examples of the Spanish Renaissance.
The homes of important historical figures can still be seen throughout the city, including the House of Cervantes, where the author of Don Quixote lived with his family between 1603 and 1606. Here's an interesting fact: it was in this house that the writer put the finishing touches to his great work. A visit to the house-museum is a chance to see items and furnishings from the period and recreate the way of life of noble family in the 17th century. Another recommended visit is to the Christopher Columbus House-Museum, built in the 1960s in a copy of the type of dwelling of his nephew, Diego Colón, in Puerto Rico. The current palace has an exhibition of various items and documents related to the discovery of America.
Also worth visiting in 19th-century Valladolid is the building where one of its most illustrious figures was born, José Zorrilla. The house is open to the public, and contains several of the romantic writer's personal effects, furniture and documents.
As the city has undergone significant urban growth in recent decades, Valladolid today offers a wide range of leisure and cultural options, with cinemas, theatres and museums, such as the National Sculpture Museum in the College of San Gregorio. This splendid building in the Flemish Gothic style, one of the most outstanding constructions in Valladolid, is notable for its exhibition of polychrome carved figures by artists like Alonso Berruguete and Gregorio Fernández. The Museum of Spanish Contemporary Art in the Patio Herreriano –one of the cloisters in the old Monastery of San Benito– contains over 800 20th-century paintings and sculptures.

Faro a Colón | Columbus Lighthouse, Dominican Republic
Faro a Colón | Columbus Lighthouse, Dominican Republic
Faro a Colón or Columbus Lighthouse is the most unique attraction in the Santo Domingo Este, Dominican Republic, in tribute to Christopher Columbus. The Columbus Lighthouse is a cross-shaped monument made of reinforced concrete. Its dimensions are 688 feet (210 m) by 195 feet (59 m). There are 157 beams of light that emanate towards the sky from the structure and a rotating beam, which can be seen for miles. Reinforced concrete building is located on a hill and with its height offers a fascinating spectacle to Santo Domingo. Modern buildings are surrounded by greenery, creating a unique flavor of the city. Large bowl topped with a lighthouse, but it operates only once a year, on the day of the discovery of America, It was funded by the Latin American states and the total cost of construction was approximately US$70 million. It was originally conceived as a mausoleum and a monument to the great navigator Christopher Columbus. The monument is both a mausoleum and a museum showcasing objects including a boat from Cuba and Colombian jewelry.
In 1506, at the age of 55, the explorer Christopher Columbus died in Spain. But death was not the end of his adventures - his body continued to travel in a centuries-long shell game. Keep your eyes on the body — Immediately after his death, Columbus was buried Valladolid, the town in which he spent his last days. Then, on the wishes of his son Diego, the body was moved to Seville. Meanwhile, Diego headed back to the Dominican Republic to begin construction of a cathedral to hold his father's remains, in accordance with his final wishes. Unfortunately, Diego died in 1526 before he could make that happen, and he was, in turn, interred in Seville next to his father. Both Columbuses stayed there for another 16 years, but when the Cathedral of Santa Maria was completed in the Dominican Republic, Diego's widow put the wheels in motion to have both bodies moved there. In 1542 the remains sailed the ocean blue again, and joined the body of Christopher's brother, Bartholomew, who had died in Santo Domingo the year before.
There they remained for more than 200 years, but when the Spanish were ousted from the Dominican Republic in 1795, they took the explorer's body with them to the other Spanish stronghold in the Caribbean: Havana, Cuba.Back in the Dominican Republic, nearly a century late a construction worker working on the cathedral renovation uncovered a lead box - unimpressive, save for the inscription on the inside of the lid: The illustrious and excellent man, Don Colon, Admiral of the Ocean Sea. At first pass, it seemed obvious that the Spanish must have, in their haste, taken the wrong box. But there's a catch - both father, Christopher, and son, Diego, were known as Don Colon in their lifetimes, and both held the same title Admiral of the Ocean Sea.
By 1898, when the Spanish were pushed out of Cuba by the Americans, both the Spaniards and Dominicans had decided firmly that the remains in their own possession were the authentic item, and that the other must be holding onto the son. Therefore, in Seville an elaborate cathedral tomb was prepared for the explorer's return to his homeland, while in his adopted home another official tomb was planned.
It took the Dominicans somewhat longer to get their design act together. It was not until 1931 that a design competition was held, won by a Scottish architect who proposed the 688 foot long cruciform memorial complex that now stands. The building was barely ready by the 1992 500th anniversary of Columbus' arrival, when the remains were finally interred. In 2003, the controversy was tackled by DNA science, and the remains in Seville tested against known remains of Columbus' brother Diego and son Fernando. Although promising, the results are not conclusive, and thus far, the remains interred at the lighthouse in Santo Domingo Este have not been tested, so for now, the mystery endures.

Colomares: el castillo-monumento a Colón más raro del mundo
Corría el año 1987 cuando un ginecólogo catalán, el doctor Esteban Martín Martín, decidía poner la primera piedra en una parcela de Benalmádena (Málaga), de lo que bautizó como el Monumento de Colomares, . Una suerte de castillo a base de piedra, cemento y ladrillos que quería convertir en el gran homenaje que nadie había hecho hasta entonces a la figura del gran descubridor y el hito histórico del descubrimiento de América. Y no escatimó en inventiva.

Valladolid - Fountain in the city center
Valladolid was originally settled in pre-Roman times by the Celtic Vaccaei people, and later the Romans themselves. It remained a small settlement until being re-established by King Alfonso VI of Castile as a Lordship for the Count Pedro Ansúrez in 1072. It grew to prominence in the Middle Ages as the seat of the Court of Castile and being endowed with fairs and different institutions as a collegiate church, University (1241), Royal Court and Chancery and the Royal Mint. The Catholic Monarchs, Isabel I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon, married in Valladolid in 1469 and established it as the capital of the Kingdom of Castile and later of united Spain. Christopher Columbus died in Valladolid in 1506, while authors Francisco de Quevedo and Miguel de Cervantes lived and worked in the city. The city was briefly the capital of Habsburg Spain under Phillip III between 1601 and 1606, before returning indefinitely to Madrid. The city then declined until the arrival of the railroad in the 19th century, and with its industrialization, already in the 20th century.
Valladolid es un municipio y una ciudad española situada en el cuadrante noroeste de la península ibérica, capital de la provincia de Valladolid. La ciudad es también sede de las Cortes y la Junta de la comunidad autónoma de Castilla y León. La estación se sitúa sobre la línea convencional Madrid-Irún, una de las principales líneas de la red española. Desde 2007 es también final de línea de la LAV Madrid-Valladolid, que en el futuro se prolongará hacia el norte (Pais Vasco, Asturias, Galicia...), conformando el denominado Eje Norte-Noroeste de Alta Velocidad. Hasta ese momento se ha dispuesto sobre las vías de la estación un cambiador de ancho dual, que permite que los trenes de ancho variable aprovechen la LAV Madrid-Valladolid y se dirijan posteriormente a otras ciudades del norte de España (Gijón, Santander, Bilbao, Vitoria e Irún).

Places to see in ( Andalusia - Spain ) Santa Maria de las Cuevas Monastery La Cartuja
The Monastery of Santa María de las Cuevas, also known as the Monastery of the Cartuja, is a religious building on the Isla de La Cartuja in Seville, southern Spain. The Andalusian Contemporary Art Center is now located on this site.
Christopher Columbus' remains were first interred at Valladolid, then at the Monastery of the Cartuja by the will of his son Diego. In 1542 the remains were transferred to Colonial Santo Domingo. During the Napoleonic invasion, the monastery was sacked and used as barracks. After returning in 1812, the monastery was finally vacated with the general closure of monasteries in 1835–36 (Desamortización de Mendizábal).
In 1964, the monastery was declared a national monument, and now is owned by the government of Andalusia, which create a new institution called Monumental Ensemble of the Monastery of Santa María de las Cuevas. Restorations were made for the Seville Expo '92, directed by Bartolomé Ruiz González, the first and only one director of the Monumental Ensemble from 1989 to 1994. In 1997, the older part of the monastery became the site of a museum of contemporary art, the Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo (CAAC).

Le tombeau de Christophe Colomb et la Cathédrale de Séville - Andalousie - Espagne
La cathédrale de Séville Notre Dame du Siège (en espagnol : Catedral de Santa María de la Sede ou Catedral de Sevilla) en Andalousie a été construite entre 1402 et le XVIe siècle. De style gothique, elle possède un clocher, la Giralda, ancien minaret hispano-mauresque de la grande mosquée almohade qui s'élevait sur l'emplacement de l'actuelle cathédrale.
Elle referme le tombeau e Christophe Colomb.
Christophe Colomb est d'abord enterré à Valladolid avant d'être transféré, quelques années plus tard, au monastère de la Cartuja à Séville. En 1541, conformément aux volontés du défunt, sa dépouille arrive aux Amériques et est inhumée dans la cathédrale Notre-Dame de l'Incarnation de la ville de Saint-Domingue.
Le 22 juillet 1795, le traité de Bâle donne à la France l'île de Saint-Domingue en compensation de territoires pyrénéens. Les Espagnols évacuent l'île et les restes de Colomb partent à La Havane, sur l'île de Cuba, restée colonie espagnole.
En 1898, quand Cuba devient indépendante après la guerre hispano-américaine, les restes de Colomb reviennent en Espagne et un tombeau monumental est construit dans la cathédrale de Séville.

March 30 Saint Peter Regalado
(1390 – March 30, 1456)
Peter lived at a very busy time in history. The Great Western Schism (1378-1417) was settled at the Council of Constance (1414-1418). France and England were fighting the Hundred Years’ War, and in 1453, the Byzantine Empire was completely wiped out by the loss of Constantinople to the Turks. At Peter’s death, the age of printing had just begun in Germany, and Columbus’s arrival in the New World was less than 40 years away.
Peter came from a wealthy and pious family in Valladolid, Spain. At the age of 13, he was allowed to enter the Conventual Franciscans. Shortly after his ordination, he was made superior of the friary in Aguilar. He became part of a group of friars who wanted to lead a life of greater poverty and penance. In 1442, he was appointed head of all the Spanish Franciscans in his reform group.
Peter led the friars by his example. A special love of the poor and the sick characterized Peter. Miraculous stories are told about his charity to the poor. For example, the bread never seemed to run out as long as Peter had hungry people to feed. Throughout most of his life, Peter went hungry; he lived only on bread and water.
Immediately after his death on March 31, 1456, his grave became a place of pilgrimage. Peter was canonized in 1746.
