A statue of Christopher Columbus by Mario Zamora was installed in Chula Vista, California's formerly named Discovery Park, in the United States. The statue has been vandalized multiple times.[1][2]
The statue was installed in 1991 as part of the Columbus Quincentenary.[3] It was surveyed by the Smithsonian Institution's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in 1993.[4]
It was removed and placed into storage in June 2020.[5] The park named after Columbus's so-called "discovery" of America was renamed in 2022.[6]
