Cristóbal Colón
Cristóbal Colón, known as Christopher Columbus in English, was an Italian explorer and navigator credited with the European discovery of the Americas. Born in 1451, his voyages across the Atlantic Ocean in the late 15th century led to the establishment of European colonies in the New World. His legacy is complex, as it involves both the exploration and colonization of indigenous lands. The Museum Alcázar de Colón in Santo Domingo, built on land granted to his son, Diego Colón, serves as a testament to his historical significance.
