Statue of Christ the King of 28 m on a base of 82 m high offering a guaranteed superb view of Rio de Jainero and Corcovado.

Do the hands stretched out over the city remind you of anything? Of course! Of course! Rio de Janeiro and Corcovado, which inspired Cardinal Cereijera in 1934. The King Christ, his Portuguese reduction, was built at the end of the Second World War in gratitude for the fulfillment of a national vow and the episcopate's promise: Portugal had not been invaded. On a 82 m high base, the statue, inaugurated in 1959, still stands 28 m high. Superb view guaranteed.

You can reach at the foot of the statue lift, and the 4th floor enjoy vertiginous pictures of the bridge that I spoke to above and the statue of Christ for on your return mythoner on the destination of your last holiday by tell that you have made a road- journey between San Francisco and Rio de Janeiro (han! )...
