Columbus Cross Lighthouse to memorialize Columbus in Santo Domingo
An international jury selected the prize winning design for a monumental lighthouse shaped as a cross to honor Columbus in Santo Domingo. English architect J I Greave of Nottingham created the beacon which will serve as an air beacon and navigational light, with a tomb for Columbus in the memorial chapel and multiple portals offering harbor and airport views. The project, backed by Pan American Union and several nations, aims for a lasting symbol of friendship across the Americas.
