The statue of Christ in Rio de Janeiro, also known as the Brazilian statue of Christ and the Christian Church (cristo redentor), is a large-scale statue of Jesus Christ in the art deco style. Located on the island of Monte Cristo in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, it is a symbol of this city and one of the most famous memorial sculptures in the world.

The total height of the statue of Christ is 38 meters, the head is nearly 4 meters long, and the two hands nailed to the cross are 28 meters wide. The whole statue is carved out of reinforced concrete and covered with stone, with a total weight of 1 145 tons. The statue was designed by the French monument sculptor Paul Landovsky, and the local engineer Silva Cosca supervised the construction. 193 1 10 was completed on1October 12, which is the epiphany of the Brazilian Virgin Mary.

The statue of Christ stands on the top of Baduo Mountain in Corcaud at an altitude of 765,438+00 meters in Rio de Janeiro National Forest Park, overlooking the whole city of Rio de Janeiro. From every corner of Rio de Janeiro, you can clearly see that Jesus was crucified. As time goes by, people call Mount Baduo in Corcaud Mount Jesus, but their real names have been forgotten.

On July 7, 2007, the statue of Christ became one of the new seven wonders of the world. Jesus welcomes tourists from all over the world with open arms, which is a symbol of Brazilian people's warm acceptance and broad mind. Visitors can choose to go up the mountain by car from Panshan Highway or by mountain bike. After reaching the finish line, I turned four escalators and came to the foot of the statue of Jesus.
