In what year did the Spanish Navy arrive in America? If you asked that question at Spanish Navy Plaza, someone might just know the answer. The Plaza de la Marina Española, as it is also known, is more than just a plaza. It is a monument to the Spanish Navy and their arrival in the Americas on October 12, 1492. You can find this monument nestled within the larger Maurice A. Ferré Park. This park, a 21-acre urban oasis, boasts the longest waterfront baywalk in Miami. The plaza was dedicated in 1991 by Mayor Xavier Suarez and Consul General Erik I. Martel. The Spanish Navy Plaza stands as a testament to a significant historical event and a tribute to the seafaring heritage of Spain.
