The Birth of a New World Statue is located in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. Commomly named Christopher Colon Statue, it is the tallest statue in the Americas, reaching the height of 360 feet tall. Made in Bronze by Zurab Tseretelli to commemorate de 500 anniversary of the New World Discovery. After problems to get a City to adopt the statue, a private company decide to built it in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. Authough the park area where is located is not opening complete for business, they allow to park and take picture of it. When they finish to comply with the complex permission discrepancy, and late repairs from the hit of Maria’s Hurricane in the area, this will be a Great place to visit when staying in Puerto Rico. Next to restaurants and Beach area.

- HI @SvitlanaChurina , For me, that is something unusual also. But, I checked it on Google. It seem that the difference in the appreciation is the base where the statue is standing. That is not included on the measure to determining which is the tallest.
