The building is the work of Dr. Esteban Martín y Martín and two Malagueños masons, and mixes influences of different architectural styles such as Byzantine, Romanesque, Gothic and Mudejar that marked Spain culturally. The materials used are brick, concrete, natural stone and wood among others; As well as the stained-glass windows inside. The monument presents various elements of the symbolism of the Catholic Monarchs, the three cultures present in medieval Spain (Christianity, Judaism and Islam) and other elements of Columbus' journey. It is possible to emphasize the presence of a Chinese pagoda that symbolizes the original idea of Columbus to reach the coasts of Asia.
