Description

Rio de Janeiro, Christ the Redeemer

Christ the Redeemer (Portuguese: Cristo Redentor) is an Art Deco statue of Jesus Christ in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, created by French sculptor Paul Landowski, and constructed between 1922 and 1931. It is 30 metres tall, not including its 8-metre pedestal, and its arms stretch 28 metres wide.

The statue is made of reinforced concrete and soapstone, and weighs 635 tonnes. It is located at the peak of the 700-metre Corcovado mountain in the Tijuca Forest National Park overlooking the city of Rio. As a symbol of Brazilian Christianity, the statue has become an icon for Rio de Janeiro and Brazil.
