About Christ the Redeemer

Christ the Redeemer, or Cristo Redentor in Portuguese, stands at an impressive height of 30 meters (98 feet), with its arms stretching 28 meters (92 feet) wide. The statue is made of reinforced concrete and soapstone, and it was completed in 1931 after nine years of construction. Designed by Brazilian engineer Heitor da Silva Costa and created by French sculptor Paul Landowski, the statue is a masterpiece of art and engineering.

The statue overlooks the city of Rio de Janeiro from the peak of the 700-meter (2,300-foot) Corcovado Mountain, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city, including the famous Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, Sugarloaf Mountain, and the sprawling Tijuca Forest.
