After two decades of DNA testing, experts have confirmed that the remains in Seville Cathedral are indeed those of Christopher Columbus, resolving a long-standing mystery.
Despite knowing where Columbus died and initially wanted to be buried, his remains have undergone several posthumous relocations, complicating the identification process.
The question of Columbus's exact origins remains more complex, with multiple national and regional claims made over centuries, which will be addressed in an upcoming TV program.
The forensic study at the University of Granada involved comparing DNA from the tomb with samples from Columbus's family, leading to the confirmation of his identity.
