The Columbus Monument and Piazza in Pueblo, Colorado, is the first and now
last remaining Columbus Monument west
of the Missisppi. It is National Historical Registered Monument and was gifted to the City of Pueblo in 1905 by the immigrant community made up of a large Italian contingent and immigrants from Europe, South America, and Asia; and remains a symbol of thanks and respect for being able to be a part of the United States of America. The Monument was paid for in cash, at a cost of $10,000, and took the organizers nearly 10 years to collect and save that amount from the citizenry, which is equivalent to more the $290,000 in today's dollars! The City of Pueblo maintains the grounds and street rights-of-way for the Monument, and the initial charter for the Sons of Italy Lodge No: 2738 included a commitment to protect the Monument Piazza for the enjoyment of all. The stone work for the Monument was performed by Italian stone masons and the bust was cast as one piece in Bronze and it is heavy!
