The Columbus Obelisk is one of three monuments to Christopher Columbus in Baltimore, Maryland. Erected on 12 October 1792, the obelisk is the oldest monument to Christopher Columbus in the United States.[1]
On the monument the inscription read “Sacred to the Memory of Chris. Columbus / Octob. XII MDCCVIIIC.”[2][3] until the plaque with this message was destroyed[4] in 2017.
