268 ft. (81, 68 meter) monument from 2,750 pieces of bronze and steel manufactured in Russia and some 2,000 sq. ft. (185.80 sq. meters) of copper sheets. The statue, entitled 'Birth of a New World,' and weighing in at 6,500 tons, is almost twice the height of New York's Statue of Liberty without its base, and is double the height of Rio's Christ the Redeemer.
It took 110,000 hours to assemble. The monuments were commissioned to celebrate the 500th anniversary of Columbus's America’s voyage.
