Lonely Planet review for Plaza del Quinto Centenario

It's surprising to find such a modern square shoehorned in among all the architectural antiques, but the small Plaza del Quinto Centenario was built in 1992 to honor the 500-year anniversary of Christopher Columbus's first voyage to the Americas.

Constructed for a rumored cost of around US$10 million and decorated with a craning totem pole - El Tótem Telúrico - of ambiguous significance, the plaza offers great views over El Morro and the ocean and, from a distance, blends in subtly with the surrounding buildings.
