ENGLISH: Christopher Columbus – At the end of the 15th century when Christopher Columbus was filled with inspiration and courage to sail the seas to India, he visited Sante Fe. It was here that he performed, in order to raise travel funds, a famous display of his quest with the aid of an egg. It was the Catholic Queen who then sponsored his voyage to India. This monument pays respect to this historical encounter.

ESPAÑOL: Cristóbal Colón – A finales del S. XV, cuando Cristóbal Colón se llenó de inspiración y coraje para surcar los mares a la India, visitó Santa Fe. Fue aquí que él realizó, con el fin de recaudar fondos para el viaje, una famosa presentación de su búsqueda con la ayuda de un huevo. Fue la Reina Católica que luego patrocinó su viaje a la India, y este monumento rinde respeto a este encuentro histórico.

이사벨 여왕의 후원으로 인도로의 출항이 가능하게 되었고, 이 기념물은 그것을 기념하기 위한 것이다.
