PONCE DE LEON MONUMENT

Gilchrist Park, Punta Gorda, Florida

on Charlotte Harbor

  
     
  The Royal Order of Ponce De Leon Conquistadors is an organization dedicated to the preservation of the Spanish heritage of Charlotte County and Florida.

The Conquistadors have established a tax deductible fund and have erected a life-size bronze statue of Ponce De Leon to commemorate his visits to Charlotte Harbor in 1513 and 1521.

Planned to be a focal point in Florida's 500th anniversary celebration, the monument will be of interest for residents and tourists far into the future.

Donations for engraved bricks are still being accepted:
