| Description |
O Cristo-Rei é um monumento religioso localizado na freguesia de Almada, no concelho de Almada, em Portugal. Situa-se a uma altitude de 113 metros acima do nível do Tejo, sendo constituído por um pórtico projectado pelo arquitecto António Lino, com 75 metros de altura, encimado pela estátua do Redentor de braços abertos voltado para a cidade de Lisboa, com 28 metros de altura, obra do escultor português Francisco Franco de Sousa. O pedestal, incluindo o pórtico, eleva-se a 82 metros de altura. O monumento a Cristo-Rei constitui a maior atracção turística do concelho de Almada, a seguir às famosas praias da Costa de Caparica. É de visita obrigatória a todo o turista que visite Lisboa. Este monumento é o melhor miradouro da cidade de Lisboa, oferecendo uma ampla vista sobre a capital e sobre a Ponte 25 de Abril. Em numerosas reportagens turísticas sobre Lisboa, surge o monumento a Cristo-Rei, ex-líbris de Almada. É uma das mais altas construções de Portugal, com 110 metros de altura. <a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristo-Rei" rel="noreferrer nofollow">pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristo-Rei</a> Cristo-Rei (english translation: Christ the King) is a Catholic monument overlooking Lisbon, capital of Portugal, inaugurated on May 17, 1959. The monument was built on the left-bank of the Tagus river, facing Lisbon on the other bank. Its location is at coordinates 38º40'43" N 9º10'17" W, in the civil parish of Pragal, in the city of Almada, in District of Setúbal, Lisbon Region. It is a national monument. The base of the monument, by architect António Lino, is in the form of a gate, standing 75 m (246 ft) tall. At the top is a statue of Christ the Redeemer, designed by sculptor Francisco Franco de Sousa, 28 m (92 ft)-tall. At the base of the statue is an observation deck (altitude: 184 m / 604 ft) providing panoramic views of the city of Lisbon, the Tagus river (in portuguese: Rio Tejo) and of the 25 de Abril Bridge (in portuguese: Ponte 25 de Abril). It is located on the left riverbank. The construction of Cristo-Rei was approved on a Portuguese Episcopate conference, held in Fátima on April 20, 1940, as a plea to God to release Portugal from entering World War II. However, the idea had originated on a visit by the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro in 1934, soon after the inauguration of the statue of Christ the Redeemer on 1931. Construction started in 1950 and took nine years to complete. It was founded and supported by Apostleship of Prayer members. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristo-Rei" rel="noreferrer nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristo-Rei</a> |
