Christ the Redeemer: An Icon of Rio de Janeiro
Christ the Redeemer is undoubtedly one of the most iconic monuments in the world and an undisputed symbol of Brazil. Located on top of Corcovado Mountain in Rio de Janeiro, 710 meters above sea level, this majestic 30-meter-high statue, with its arms outstretched 28 meters, represents Christ with open arms in a gesture of peace and welcome, dominating the impressive urban and natural landscape of the city.
Inaugurated in 1931, the Christ the Redeemer statue is constructed of reinforced concrete and covered with soapstone, a material chosen for its resistance to Rio de Janeiro's tropical climate.
