The kings of Spain honored Amerigo Vespucci by naming the newly discovered continent, America, after him. This decision was formalized in the early 16th century, as his explorations and maps contributed significantly to the understanding of the New World.

His contributions were celebrated through various honors and commemorations in Spain and beyond.
