Colomares Monument
#thingstodo
A place I've been wanting to visit for so long.. And my expectations were proven. At the entrance you can buy a ticket which costs 3 euro ( in my opinion its cheap ,usually entrances in Spain are 5+ euro),the lady asks where are you from and next she gives you a printed paper with information about the place in your language. I've been genuinely surprised by this in a good way . Totally loved it. And then you enter and everything is just stunning.. if you like castle architecture or you just want to do some nice pictures I highly recommend 👌 There are free toilets and a coffee bar also
Such a beautiful, fairytale castle which renders such beautiful views of the coastline as well as castle looks so cute as backdrop in pics. Even entrance ticket are pretty reasonable. Highly recommend to visit this one
Very nice place not far away from main road. Theres nice ocen view amd a lot of small towers and hidden places - children love it. Entrance fee is low and you get a paper (many languages) about this place.

Colomares Castle - SPAIN
In the city of Benalmádena, you’ll find the Colomares Castle (Castillo de Colomares), which was built as a memorial to Christopher Columbus and the discovery of the Americas.
Esteban Martin, who started working on the project in 1987 with two bricklayers and placed the last stone seven years later, had the same goal in mind.
The Doctor was misunderstood for over 15 years and treated like a madman because of it, forcing him to fight the building like Don Quixote. He spent practically all of his wealth on this monument
The Castillo Colomares towers above the surrounding vegetation and blends in nicely with the other structures, making it difficult to see from a distance.
You’ll soon realize that it’s not a castle at all but rather a memorial to Christopher Columbus. Included in the show are three ships and the world’s tiniest church inside the walls. This is what is impressive about visiting this old building.
The construction of Castillo de Colomares lasted a long time and was influenced by a number of architectural eras. You may learn about the three religions that existed in medieval Spain (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) and about Christopher Columbus’s journey by taking a tour of the Colomares Castle.

Colomares Castle's 🏰 magical atmosphere undoubtedly refreshes 🔄 our perception of Spanish scenery ❗
🔮Kolomares
Cloaked in the guise of a "castle", it is actually a memorial.
With its ✨Guinness certification✨, it serves multiple roles: being both the largest Columbus monument in the country and the smallest church in the country.
The architectural style of the entire castle is extremely grand, and the magical feeling created by the totem-like carvings that spiral up the main structure is reminiscent of the Blue Temple in Thailand.
The overall copper-colored group-style construction style seems to transport people to the vicinity of the distant Egyptian pyramids.
The grandeur of Colomares makes people feel particularly small.
The exquisite carving of the building makes the entrance look like a "barrier", and as you approach the main building step by step, it feels like entering a different world🔮.
