Le mystère des origines de Christophe Colomb #patrimoine #lieuxinsolites

October 12, 1492 Christopher Columbus discovered the new world in debate in the Bahamas under the Spanish flag but from all Mexican studies and researchers in Spanish-American civilization questions remain unanswered how a man with no proven maritime experience could have led

In such a short time years a naval enterprise of such a large scale and previously marrying a lady of the Portuguese nobility why did the colonist never claim the Republic of Gene however flourishing and powerful as his cradle and why the city of Gen did it

Claim its illustrious national only very late in the 19th century but like the city of G around fifteen cities in Italy claim to be the birthplace of Christopher Columbus and Corsica remains a probability why is he originally from Calvi as is said claims we search in

Ancient writings such as the Historia de las Indias by barartolomé de las Casas written between 1527 and 15 59 we consult the 19th century press to find out whether or not Christopher Columbus was a child of baldness in 1492 Christopher Columbus n has no claimed nationality so that he is qualified

As a foreigner term meaning that he is outside Spain if Christopher Colom is qualified as a foreigner this can mean first of all that he is not native of one of the kingdoms of the crown of Castile and the strongly rooted oral tradition of colonists in Calvi but

We have no written proof or material traces we must go back to the historian Valéri who in his travelogue in 1837 evokes the existence in the 16th century of a Colombo family in Calvi and of rue Diou filou where the navigator’s house would be located and this is an index however

On May 30, 1886 a process was initiated for the official recognition of Colom in Calvi a commemorative plaque is imposed on the ruined house during a grandiose ceremony recalling the birth of the admiral in 1441 a decree from the President of the Republic Jul Grevy authorizes

A subscription for the erection of a statue in homage to Colon initiative part of the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America but a few weeks before the ceremony the Spanish historian Francisco Huagon claims to have discovered in the

Madrid military archives irrefutable proof that the admiral of the ocean was born in Savon Aï it’s a cold shower in Corsica but we hold on among the cors we defend the honor of Calvi with patriotism in the frat of bochur articles and even books to which the question gave rise no

Decisive document come to take the matter to the ground clear doubt sets in however and the French State refuses to associate itself with the ceremonies planned in Calvi in ​​honor of Christophe Colom we do not give up we organize 3 days of festivities from October 10 to 12, 1892 where visitors are expected

By thousands nautical competition rehead to the torch and tdum the day of October 12 promises to be grandiose the streets come alive as the procession passes and the calved sailors maneuvering a float bearing the image of a multi-colored Caravel at the back of which stands proudly with Corsican flag

Effect guaranteed the first stone of a monument of DIAC is laid in the presence of a deputy of Corsica the marquis crissan de villeneu escapelon who makes an appointment for an inauguration planned in 1896 but the declaration will remain without continuation because Paris definitively supports the arguments

Of the detractors of this thesis the subscription is canceled the first stone pitifully transferred to the ruins of the alleged birthplace of Christopher Columbus which is rejected by the local authorities a new project then emerges quickly swept away by the turmoil

Of the Great War and 100 years later in 1992 a monument to the glory of Colom was inaugurated with great fanfare under the leadership of the mayor of the city but the monument relegated to a corner

Of the ramparts cannot compete with the haughty statues of Colon erected in Barcelona and to G Christo colon therefore remains a true mystery the hope still remains to discover in the burying some qu’part the missing piece of this file the house of the discoverer of the New World is

Still visible near the citadel and a plaque attests that the great man was indeed born in Calvi on the island of beauty around 1436 and for the CALV there is no doubt but let’s admit that the legend gives a certain charm to the city from Balagne during a walk in the citadel
