Plaza de Colón, Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Spain (circa 1910s) - A captivating glimpse into the past, this photograph showcases the Plaza de Colón in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Spain, during the 1910s. The Plaza, named after Christopher Columbus, is a formal public garden located in the heart of the city, serving as a popular gathering place for locals and tourists alike. The image reveals the grandeur of the colonial architecture that once defined Las Palmas, with its ornate buildings, intricate wrought-iron balconies, and vibrant colors. The centerpiece of the plaza is a majestic statue of Columbus, standing proudly atop a pedestal, surrounded by lush palm trees and manicured gardens. The palm trees, synonymous with the Canary Islands, add a tropical touch to the otherwise European-style square. The Plaza de Colón underwent a significant renovation in 1931, and this photograph captures the essence of the pre-renovation era. The 1930s, also known as the 30s or the Thirties, were a period of change and growth in the Canary Islands, and this photograph serves as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the region. The Plaza de Colón continues to be a beloved destination for visitors and locals alike, offering a serene escape from the bustling city streets. Its timeless beauty and historical significance make it a must-visit attraction for anyone exploring the wonders of the Canary Islands and Spain.
